Our Mission
The Clients’ Security Board exists to preserve the public’s trust in the legal profession by reimbursing law clients whose Massachusetts lawyer had stolen from them using funds provided solely by the lawyers of Massachusetts.
- Massachusetts pays $1.29 million - its largest award ever
- NOTICE OF VACANCIES ON THE CLIENTS' SECURITY BOARD
The Justices of the Supreme Judicial Court invite applications for appointment to the Clients' Security Board.
Two vacancies will occur on the Board in December, 2019, due to the expiration of the terms of incumbent members. Terms are for five years. Under S.J.C. Rule 4:04, the Board manages the fund used to discharge the bar's collective responsibility with respect to losses caused to the public by defalcations of members of the bar. The Court is seeking lawyers with experience in trusts and estates, personal injury law, and civil litigation. An interest in professional responsibility is desirable but not essential.
