We are proud to announce that Staff Attorney Jordan Walker has been selected to join the Boston Bar Association’s 2025–2026 Public Interest Leadership Program (PILP).
Each year, the BBA welcomes a small group of highly accomplished lawyers into this prestigious year-long program, which provides intensive leadership and professional development training. Jordan was chosen from an impressive pool of applicants to join a dynamic cohort of emerging leaders from private practice, in-house counsel, government, and nonprofit organizations.
Through PILP, participants learn directly from leaders across Boston’s public and private sectors, building the skills, connections, and tools needed to serve as effective advocates and community leaders. Alumni of the program have gone on to serve as elected officials, nonprofit board members, managing partners, and key voices shaping Boston’s legal and civic landscape.
Jordan’s leadership, expertise, and deep commitment to survivors of domestic violence make her an outstanding addition to the BBA’s Public Interest Leadership Program. We are thrilled to see her receive this recognition.
Jordan Walker is a Staff Attorney at The Second Step, a nonprofit supporting survivors of domestic violence. She provides free, trauma-informed legal services to survivors of intimate partner violence, including representation in Probate and Family Court, and guidance on housing and the criminal justice process.
Before joining The Second Step, Jordan served as an Assistant District Attorney in the Middlesex District Attorney’s Office, where she ultimately became the domestic violence designee in Woburn District Court. Jordan earned her J.D. from Boston College Law School and her B.A. in Psychology from Boston University.
We congratulate Jordan on this well-deserved honor and look forward to all she will accomplish through this program and beyond.
