Committee on Law and Social Action (CLSA)

JALSA maintains a weekly “think-tank” of attorneys and others interested in legislative and court issues. That weekly “working” lunch continues the long tradition of the former group, the New England AJCongress’ Commission on Law and Social Action (CLSA).

JALSA continues to bring together volunteer attorneys and public policy advocates to discuss social action, legislative, and legal concerns. It draws together bright minds with different fields of expertise, contributing ideas on how best to deal with the social activist agenda.

Volunteers are always wanted to help write briefs in important cases before state and federal courts. Click here if you would like to volunteer please contact us with your name, address, email address, telephone, any areas of special interest and/or skills.

Meetings are on Thursdays at 12:30 pm at the JALSA office. Bring your lunch and join an informal discussion at Suite 320, 18 Tremont Street, Boston, MA. Meetings officially last one hour so that you can return to your office in a timely manner. However, some members stay on to continue the discussions.

Read our most recent brief prepared by Attorneys Joel Suttenberg, Allan Roth, and Joel Eigerman.
