In 2001, Mintz Levin became the first firm to represent Boston Medical Center patient-families in an array of civil legal contexts. Since then, over twenty other law firms and in-house legal departments have joined MLP | Boston's pro bono partner network, which was formally launched by the Boston Bar Association in 2003 (and was known until 2008 as the Healthy Kids Legal Network). Contributions by these volunteers include: accepting individual case referrals; "adopting" a health clinic and staffing a weekly legal clinic there; establishing a "loaned" or "referred" associate program (we thank WilmerHale, Ropes & Gray, Mintz Levin, and Nutter for including MLP | Boston in their respective programs); conducting research on ethics and confidentiality issues arising in the MLP model; and engaging in systemic advocacy in partnership with clinicians.

Celebrating MLP | Boston's FY12 Pro Bono Case Corps
Improving Health through Justice one Client at a Time
We are deeply grateful to the volunteers listed below,* each of whom took on at least one new legal matter for a low-income patient-family between June 30, 2011 and July 1, 2012. We could not rise to the challenge of our mission without the dedication of these generous legal professionals.
*Additional volunteers will be added soon to this incomplete list
