SUMMARY:Webinar: Educational Outreach for Federal Judges
DESCRIPTION:In pursuit of its mission\, the Federal Bar Association (FBA) monitors legislation and educates members of the Legislative and Executive Branches about issues affecting the federal legal system and the administration of justice. Wider involvement from the broader membership\, including federal judges\, is essential. The experiences and insights of federal judges can be highly relevant and informative for legislators; however\, the prospect of “lobbying” or direct advocacy to government officials can raise questions about what is and is not permitted by the governing codes of conduct. We invite you to join us for a discussion on the guidelines established by the FBA to support the Judiciary’s engagement in educational outreach. \nThe FBA Educational Outreach Guidelines for Federal Judges and Nonjudicial Court Employees can be found here. \nSponsored by the Judiciary Division  \n\nModerator\nHon.
