Storytelling and the Law

Asian American Lawyers Association of Massachusetts (AALAM) and South Asian Bar Association of Greater Boston (SABA GB) present: "Storytelling and the Law: A Conversation with Eddie Ahn."

Held at Cooley LLP (500 Boylston St, 14th Floor Boston, MA 02116), this conversation will be moderated by Natasha Varyani, Professor at Roger Williams University School of Law.
Eddie Ahn is the Author and Artist of "Advocate," the national bestseller graphic memoir published by Penguin Random House. Recognized as a Washington Post and American Library Association Best Graphic Novel of the Year, "Advocate" is a moving graphic memoir about Eddie's work as an environmental justice lawyer serving diverse communities while grappling with family expectations and burnout. As a nonprofit lawyer and executive director, Eddie leads Brightline Defense, an environmental justice nonprofit based in San Francisco, and he also serves as a commissioner for three local and state government agencies related to environmental policymaking. As of 2026, Eddie has completed over 101 events across San Francisco, Seattle, Chicago, Sacramento, and New York - and he returns to Boston for a lively night of conversation about the year ahead. Join us for an author talk, light appetizers, and a book giveaway of up to 20 special edition books, signed and stamped with special art!
