A
Message from the Chapter President
The Austin Chapter of the Federal Bar
Association has been serving the Austin federal practitioner since 1985.
Today, the Austin Chapter is growing fast, and presently has more than
130 members from private practice, government agencies, military branches,
local law schools, and local courts. Our chapter membership covers all
of the counties in the Austin Division of the Western District: Bastrop,
Blanco, Burleson, Burnet, Caldwell, Gillespie, Hays, Kimble, Lampasas,
Lee, Llano, Mason, McCulloch, San Saba, Travis, Washington, and Williamson.
Our chapter is committed to providing
a community forum for all of the participants in the federal courts in
Austin. Below you will find a listing of the chapter officers, recent
and upcoming events, and helpful links for the federal court practitioner.
If you have not already done so, I invite you to join the Federal Bar
Association and the Austin Chapter and join us at one of our events. Welcome,
and I look forward to seeing you soon.
