A Message from the Chapter President

The District of Columbia Chapter of the Federal Bar Association was chartered in 1952. The chapter's geographic boundaries are the District of Columbia. The largest chapter in the FBA, the D.C. Chapter has more than 1,200 members. Membership in the D.C. Chapter is open to FBA members practicing or residing in the greater D.C. metropolitan area. Chapter members come from private practice, government agencies, military branches, local law schools, and local courts. The chapter is committed to meeting the needs of the federal practitioner through luncheons, CLE programs, and social events. If you have not already done so, I invite you to join the Federal Bar Association and the District of Columbia Chapter.
