Marsha Kazarosian
Marsha V. Kazarosian ((アルメニア語:Մարշա Ղազարոսյան)) is an American attorney in Haverhill, Massachusetts notable for handling high-profile cases in the New England area. Her handling of a gender discrimination case involving a country club brought her national recognition.〔〔 She represented one of the teenaged defendants in the 1990 murder of a young husband by his wife Pamela Smart, who conspired with her teenaged lover to murder her husband for insurance money; the story became the basis of the subsequent movie ''To Die For'' starring Nicole Kidman, and the television movie ''Murder in New Hampshire'' starring Helen Hunt. Her legal skill was the subject of a cover story entitled ''The Power of Marsha Kazarosian'' in a publication geared to the legal community.〔 ''Massachusetts Lawyers Weekly'' listed her as a top lawyer in New England,〔 and she has been identified as a top Massachusetts attorney in another publication for every year since 2006. Her law practice focuses on civil litigation,〔 family law,〔 discrimination〔 and general litigation.〔 She has litigated cases involving gender discrimination,〔 ethics in government, rape victims, sexual harassment, police misconduct, and other issues. She has appeared on local television regularly to discuss legal matters. In 2014, she is president of the Massachusetts Bar Association.〔 Mary Moore, Sep 3, 2014, Boston Business Journal, (New Mass Bar president is focused on making things easier for debt-saddled young lawyers ), Retrieved Sept. 4, 2014, "...Kazarosian, who focuses on family law and civil rights in her general practice law office Kazarosian, Costello & O'Donnell, LLP. The firm has offices in Haverhill, Lowell and Salem...."〕
Kazarosian is the daughter of the late Armenian American lawyer Paul Kazarosian, and both of her parents were children of survivors of the 1915 Armenian genocide. Since the age of four, Marsha Kazarosian wanted to be a lawyer like her father. She graduated from Phillips Academy in 1974, the University of Massachusetts Amherst in 1978, and earned a law degree from Suffolk University Law School in 1982.
In 1996, women members of the ''Haverhill Golf and Country Club'' were dissatisfied with its treatment of women regarding membership, tee time availability and membership wait lists; Kazarosian represented them. It became a high-profile case reported in the national media in which opposing lawyers described her as a "barracuda attorney" according to ''Sports Illustrated.'' Kazarosian described how female club members felt excluded by the male-dominated club:
Kazarosian earned a $3.9 million financial judgment for the women plaintiffs, and the judgment was upheld by a state appeals court which reviewed the case. According to ''the New York Times'', it was the first instance in which a state's public accommodations law was upheld by a state appeals court when applied to discrimination at a country club.〔 In addition, Kazarosian has been an active leader in bar associations at the county and state levels.〔〔 Her firm has offices in Haverhill, Lowell and Salem.〔
