A Message from the Chapter President

The Federal Bar Association is the preeminent national organization for lawyers and judges involved in legal practice before the federal courts and agencies. With approximately 16,000 members in more than 80 local chapters throughout the United States, the Federal Bar Association enjoys a close working relationship with the federal judiciary with the intent of promoting the effective and efficient administration of justice in the federal legal system.

The Nevada Chapter of the Federal Bar Association covers the entire state of Nevada and has a growing membership of private practice attorneys, government attorneys, law students, and federal judges. The Nevada Chapter is committed to serving the needs of the federal practitioner in Nevada through continuing legal education seminars, lectures from prominent national speakers, and other social events. If you have not already done so, I invite you to join the Federal Bar Association and Nevada Chapter. I look forward to seeing you at our events.

Leigh T. Goddard
Nevada Chapter President
