A Message from the Chapter President

Welcome to the Federal Bar Association Pentagon Chapter! One of the most active chapters in the association, Pentagon Chapter activities include:

  • Our monthly speakers series luncheon through which we meet and learn from the best lawyers and leaders in every area of military practice;
  • Our Pentagon Reception honoring the Department of Defense legal leadership. This annual event is held during the holiday season at the Pentagon Executive Dining Room. Through it we provide an opportunity for our Pentagon Chapter members — especially our junior officer members - to eat and speak in a casual setting with the judge advocates general and general counsel of each of our service branches, their deputies, and the Department of Defense general counsel.
  • A legal employment program titled Jobs for JAGS. Through this event we provide our Pentagon Chapter members an opportunity to see and hear recruiting officers and attorneys from federal and state government legal offices and private practitioners. Especially useful for judge advocates transitioning from active duty and Reserve Component members demobilizing from active duty recall.

This is just a sample of the monthly and other recurring events the Pentagon Chapter provides to be relevant and useful to our members; military and civilian, active duty and Reserve Component. We've been doing it since 1956! Please look at our calendar of events below for information on dates, times, and locations.

There are hundreds of lawyers deployed overseas in support of ongoing operations in the Global War on Terrorism. These lawyers, and the legal systems they are establishing in Afghanistan and Iraq are making real contributions to the world and to our security interests right here at home. I invite you to join the Federal Bar Association and Pentagon Chapter. Come meet, work with, and learn from the best!
