Here is the announcement that I sent to the Northeastern University School of Law community. I am very for your tragic loss. Jeremy Paul, Dean and Professor of Law.


It is with a heavy heart that I inform our community that one of our graduates, Brian Patrick Morrissey, suddenly and unexpectedly died last Thursday. Brian was a well-liked and highly respected student who distinguished himself in many ways, including as Editor-in-Chief of the Law Journal. Following graduation Brian served as a law clerk to Justice Joseph M. Jabar of the Maine Supreme Judicial Court before assuming his current role as an associate at the law firm of Morrison Mahoney LLP here in Boston. Our profession has lost a promising, young attorney, and our community has lost a kind and caring member. Details concerning services and a way to contact Mr. Morrissey's loved ones appear below. I know everyone joins me in extending our condolences to the Morrissey family.

To read and hear of all he's accomplished in such a short amount of time is nothing short of amazing.
Without a doubt, he's changed many lives for the better, and we are at a loss without him.

Rest in peace Brian.

All of us at Morrison Mahoney will miss "B-Mo." He was a very funny, thoughtful, and smart guy. He was so happy to be getting engaged and we were all thrilled for him. We will miss his compassion, humor, and big personality. We were privileged to get to know him. I am so sorry for your loss.

I only had the pleasure of knowing Brian for the last few months, but in that time I came to regard him as a friend as well as a coworker. He was very welcoming when I started at MM, and his door was always open whenever I wanted advice on a case, needed a pep talk, or a quick chat about our weekends. He was one of the most genuine and kind people I have ever met and he will be sorely missed.

June 24, 2018

I was fortunate to be Brian's personal assistant at Morrison Mahoney. He was my boss, but also my friend. He had a great love for his parents and his soon-to-be fiance Kathryn. I will miss all his stories and him asking me everyday at 3 p.m. if I would like a Starbucks coffee. The office won't be the same without his sense of humor and smiling face. Rest in peace Brian.
