Law Day 2018 was observed by BC Law on May 2 at the Ritz-Carlton in Boston. It was a time to honor notable alumni and leaders and to contemplate the importance of diversity in the legal community and beyond. It was also a time for generosity—the event raised funds for four scholarships. Liberty Mutual’s James Kelleher, recipient of the St. Thomas More Award, gave the keynote address on the topic of inclusion. Kelleher’s was but one of many voices heard that evening, as awardees came to the podium to receive their honors from Law Day co-chairs Tom Burton ’96 and Michael Fee ’84. Honored were: Kathryn Barton ’87, the William J. Kenealy, SJ, Alumna of the Year Award; Jeffrey D. Thielman ’92, the Hon. David S. Nelson Public Interest Law Award; Hon. Francis X. Spina ’71, the Daniel G. Holland Lifetime Achievement Award; and Arivee Vargas ’05, the Recent Graduate Award.
