MCAD: Men Eligible for Maternity Leave
In what has been described as a "bombshell," MCAD Commissioner Martin B. Ebel recently stated that MCAD will in the future apply the Massachusetts Maternity Act in a gender-neutral fashion. This means that men, as well as women, may be eligible for maternity leave, despite the fact that the Act specifically applies to women. For more, see this article in the Massachusetts Lawyers Weekly and the discussion in Massachusetts Law Updates.

It's a recommended list of books covering various types of legal writing. Most of them have sample documents (e.g., sample legal memos, professional correspondence, appellate briefs, and more). To make it even easier, we've noted the specific chapters to look at for each type of document.
