The Federal Bar Association is dedicated to promoting the welfare, interests, education, and professional development of attorneys involved in federal law. With more than 19,000 members—including 1,500 federal judges—its members run the gamut of federal practice, from small to large firms, corporations, federal agencies, and members of the judiciary. The FBA serves as the catalyst for communication between the bar and the bench, as well as the private and public sectors.

Joining the FBA entitles you to membership within the national organization as well as within your local FBA chapter. Members receive a host of special benefits designed to uphold the mission of the FBA and support each member’s career within the federal legal system. 

To join the Southern District of New York Chapter, applicants must first join the Federal Bar Association (membership categories). During the registration process, please indicate that you wish to be added as a member of the Southern District of New York Chapter.
