Message from the President
The Los Angeles Chapter of the Federal Bar Association is one of the oldest chapters in the association. Originally chartered in August 1937, the Los Angeles Chapter covers the Los Angeles division of the Central District of California. The chapter’s geographic boundaries are Ventura and Los Angeles counties. With more than 450 members, the Los Angeles Chapter is the largest chapter in the Ninth Circuit. Members come from private practice, government agencies, military branches, law schools and the bench. The chapter is committed to meeting the needs of the federal practitioner through educational seminars, training programs and social functions among the federal bar. If you have not already done so, I invite you to join the Federal Bar Association and the Los Angeles Chapter. If you are a current member, I look forward to seeing you at upcoming events. If you are not already a member, I encourage you to join the Federal Bar Association and our Los Angeles Chapter. Click here to join.
Warmest regards,
