The FBA represents the federal legal profession. We consist of more than 17,000 federal lawyers, including 1,200 federal judges, who work together to promote the sound administration of justice and the integrity, quality, and independence of the judiciary. The FBA also provides opportunities for scholarship and for judges and lawyers to interact professionally and socially.

SAN ANTONIO CHAPTER

Our Chapter consists of attorneys interested in any aspect of federal law and practice, even if they do not regularly practice in federal courts or agencies. We promote the sound administration of justice within the San Antonio Division of the Western District of Texas. We strive to serve as the primary representative of the federal legal profession in our area. We aim to enhance the professional growth and development of all members of the federal legal profession. We support high standards of professional competence and ethical conduct in the federal legal profession. We reach out to the public to encourage its understanding of America’s legal system. We encourage professional and social interaction among members of the federal legal profession. See our list of Chapter Committees, click here. We have the potential to make a real difference in enhancing the quality of federal legal practice and promoting the general public’s confidence in it. Join us!
