Celebration of the Judiciary
Celebration of the Judiciary
On June 26, 2025, the BIPLA gathered for its annual Celebration in Honor of the Judiciary at the John Joseph Moakley United States Courthouse. Honorable Leo T. Sorokin of the U.S. District Court, District of Massachusetts, was the 2025 recipient of the BIPLA’s Distinguished Public Service Award while Dr. Traci Cipriano, a professor at the Yale School of Medicine and author of “The Thriving Lawyer: A Multidimensional Model of Well-Being for a Sustainable Legal Profession,” gave the keynote speech. The BIPLA would like to thank all of the event’s sponsors for their support.
