On September 17, 2008, the Boston Bar Association announced that Goodwin Procter associate Christophe G. Courchesne is one of 15 "rising stars" to be admitted to the BBA's Public Interest Leadership Program, which is designed for lawyers with fewer than ten years of experience. Program participants will focus on leadership development and personal growth, and will commit 250 hours to seminars, workshops, and networking opportunities.
The Boston Bar Association's Public Interest Leadership Program was designed to help new lawyers achieve professional success by providing opportunities for them to develop their skills and become leaders within the legal profession and the community. As testimony to the success of the program, over 40 lawyer alumni have advanced to leadership positions within the BBA since the program began six years ago.
