WELCOME TO THE
FEDERAL BAR ASSOCIATION
SAN ANTONIO CHAPTER WEBSITE!
If you are an FBA member, welcome home! If you are a visitor, we’re happy to have you. In either case, you can learn what we do, register for our many activities, and share your thoughts about how to better the practice of Federal law in San Antonio and throughout our great Nation.
Our mission is to strengthen the Federal Legal System and the administration of justice by serving the interests and needs of Federal practitioners, the Federal judiciary, and the public they serve.
We have monthly luncheons featuring speakers on a variety of cutting edge legal topics, we sponsor legal seminars, we provide academic awards, and we reach out to the San Antonio community with a variety of law-related activities.
We hope that you’ll not only join in our activities, but that you will want to join the FBA. If you are an attorney, you can join us and help us make a difference if you have been admitted to practice before a Federal court or a U.S state or U.S. territorial court of record provided that (1) you are or have been an employee of the United States engaged in various legal activities, or (2) you have a substantial interest in or participate in the practice of Federal law. If you are a law student you can join as an associate member. Click on the membership button on the left.
Thanks for browsing our web site. We look forward to seeing you at our many activities.
