Get Connected IN THEIR WORDS Member Perspectives Becoming involved in the FBA as a younger attorney was one of the best decisions I made in my legal career. The connections I have made and the leadership experiences I have had through the FBA (from leading the largest division in the FBA, to directing one of the most prestigious moot court competitions in the country, to serving as a national officer and an elected director on the National Board) have helped shape my career and increase my impact in the broader community.

The Federal Bar Association does amazing work to support our Federal courts nationwide. In addition, the FBA’s civics initiatives and outreach positively impacts young people and educates them on why civic responsibility is crucial to the success our government. Hon. Michael J.
