The 2009-2010 MSBA Leadership Academy hosted a pre-Father's Day celebration that culminates its "Stories from my Father: Preserving Maryland Families through Literacy despite Incarceration Project." The aim of the Project is to strengthen and foster better relationships between incarcerated fathers and their children through reading. The closing event dubbed "Daddy's Day" arranges for incarcerated fathers who have participated in the Project, along with their children, to have an in-person family visitation, reading time and reception. This project was modeled after a similar, successful program developed by the National Association of Women Judges.

the MSBA, the local or specialty bar associations and the public as a whole.
