This year our speaker will be Adam Foss, a fierce advocate for criminal justice reform and supporter of the importance prosecutors have in ending mass incarceration. Adam graduated Cum Laude from Suffolk University Law School and became a prosecutor to make a positive difference in his community. Adam is a founder of several programs that help to improve the justice system, such as the Roxbury CHOICE program, the SCDAO reading program and is currently developing a new diversion program for first-time juvenile offenders. Not only did he speak at TED, he also recieved The Massachusetts Lawyers Weekly Excellence in the Law Up-and-Coming Lawyer Award and The National Law Journal Up-and Coming Lawyer Award in 2015.
