While serving as SJA, he handled several complex legal matters relating to the environmental cleanup at Otis ANGB. Toward the end of his military career, he lectured commanders nationally on environmental compliance.
Princi was active in the Massachusetts Bar Association and the Massachusetts Academy on Trial Attorneys where he served on the board of delegates for many years.  He presented continuing education programs on automobile accident cases and real estate litigation.

For  eight years Princi served the Joint Bar Committee for Judicial Appointments, two as chairman. As part of his commitment to the ethical practice of law, he was a hearing officer and represented indigent attorneys for the Massachusetts Board of Bar Overseers.

Princi represented Housing Assistance Corporation for  more than 43 years and contributed his time and effort to promote affordable housing on Cape Cod. He currently serves as a member of the board of directors of the Cotuit Center for the Arts.
