Rep. Andy X. Vargas addresses the inaugural Haverhill Bar Association speaker series. Thursday in downtown Haverhill.
The Haverhill state representative, up for re-election this year, speaks at the free monthly event that organizers say is not just for lawyers, but anyone interested in current legal topics. Haverhill Bar Association President Paul A. Magliocchetti told WHAV that Vargas’ appearance is timely as he has shepherded the “PROTECT Act,” which would ban federal agents from making civil arrests at courthouses, through the state House of Representatives.
“I think he’s being very thorough with it, getting participation from the DA and the people in the courts that are going to have to deal with it,” he said.
Magliocchetti also laid out what he hopes to accomplish with the series. “I’m trying to re-energize the Haverhill Bar Association and make it more of a community organization which it was, historically, years ago,” he explained.
The first talk in the series takes place in partnership with the Greater Haverhill Chamber of Commerce Thursday, March 26, at beginning at 5 p.m. with networking and appetizers, at Joseph’s Trattoria, 6 Moulton Way, in downtown Haverhill. Those interested are asked to reserve a seat by emailing [email protected] or using the form at HaverhillChamber.com.
