Professor Patricia Garin ’84, co-director of Northeastern Law’s Prisoners’ Rights Clinic and of counsel at Shapiro & Teitelbaum, was selected as one of two recipients of the Massachusetts Women’s Bar Association’s Lelia J. Robinson Award for 2022. The WBA’s top honor, the award recognizes women pioneers in the legal profession who have made a difference in the community.
In recognizing Garin, the WBA salutes her work as a national leader in complex criminal defense and civil rights litigation, renowned for repre- senting clients in parole, clemency and sentencing proceedings. Since 1994, Garin has served as an adjunct professor and co-director of the Prisoners’ Rights Clinic, where she and Professor Wally Holohan supervise law students representing inmates at Parole Board hearings and prison disciplinary hearings.
