The Federal Bar Association annually updates its Issues Agenda and invites members, chapters, sections and divisions to nominate issues for addition to the Issues Agenda.

The Issues Agenda is the blueprint for the FBA’s government relations and advocacy efforts. It is a prioritized list of legal and public policy issues that are of significant interest and concern to the FBA because of their impact on the federal legal system and their relationship to federal jurisprudence. The current Issues Agenda is here.

The FBA Government Relations Committee receives all nominations and, with the help of pertinent sections and divisions, recommends action on the nominations to the FBA Board of Directors. Issues appearing on the current Issues Agenda are considered for automatic renewal and do not require renomination. New issues of importance to the practice of federal law, federal jurisprudence and the federal legal profession may be nominated by any FBA member, chapter, section or division.

To nominate an issue for the Issues Agenda, complete the FBA Issues Agenda Nomination form below and hit submit when finished. You may transmit the following information by email to grc@fedbar.org.

Please contact grc@fedbar.org with any questions.
