The Massachusetts legal community is demonstrating a unified front in the defense of civil rights and the rule of law, as highlighted by Damian Turco, founder of Turco Legal, P.C. and Immediate Past President of the Massachusetts Bar Association. Turco’s efforts to galvanize lawyers across the state underscore the legal profession’s commitment to justice and the protection of fundamental rights amidst growing concerns over political polarization and arbitrary law enforcement.

Turco recently organized an event that brought together a diverse coalition of bar associations, attracting hundreds of attorneys eager to contribute to the cause. The overwhelming participation reflects a broad consensus within the legal community on the importance of safeguarding civil liberties and ensuring the rule of law prevails. Turco emphasized the simplicity of the concept behind the rule of law—laws must be followed, and their enforcement should not be arbitrary or corrupt.

In a significant move to support these principles, Turco has pledged 10% of his firm’s profits to Lawyers for Civil Rights (LCR), an organization dedicated to fighting for justice and equality. This bold commitment not only demonstrates Turco’s personal and professional values but also sets a precedent for other law firms to follow. Turco hopes his actions will inspire his peers to take similar stands, reinforcing the legal community’s role as defenders of democracy and justice.

Looking ahead, Turco plans to maintain the momentum generated by the event through future initiatives and partnerships. The legal community’s engagement and readiness to act signal a proactive stance against threats to civil rights and the rule of law. Turco’s leadership and the collective action of Massachusetts attorneys serve as a powerful reminder of the legal profession’s capacity to effect change and uphold the principles upon which the United States was founded.
