Of its members in 1911, historian Lee M. Friedman (1871–1957).[7][clarification needed]

In 1951, the Law Society of Massachusetts merged with the Massachusetts Bar Association.[8][9]

Membership edit

 
The Massachusetts Bar Association holds an annual gala in March. In 2006, Joe Biden, then the United States senator from Delaware, was the keynote speaker. He met with lawyers including Marsha Kazarosian (in photo).

Any member of the Bar of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts in good standing may become a member of the Association. Only members may vote and hold office in the Association.
