A Message from the Chapter President

The New Orleans Chapter of the Federal Bar covers the Eastern District of Louisiana. It is comprised of the following parishes in Louisiana: Jefferson, Lafourche, Plaquemines, Orleans, St. Bernard, St. Charles, St. John the Baptist, St. Tammany, Tangipahoa, Terrebonne, and Washington. The chapter was chartered in 1937 and has grown to be the largest chapter in the Fifth Circuit. There are nearly 1,100 members from private practice, government agencies, military branches, local law schools and local courts in the New Orleans chapter. The chapter is committed to serving the needs of the federal practitioner employed or residing in New Orleans. Below you will find a listing of the chapter officers and chapter news. If you have not already done so, I invite you to join the Federal Bar Association and the New Orleans Chapter. I look forward to seeing you at our events.
