The Tucson Chapter of the Federal Bar Association will provide a full schedule of practical, informative CLE events this year. In addition to luncheon CLEs, the FBA will hold its annual Federal criminal law practice seminar and the FBA’s annual CLE event, the Legends. We welcome your input and suggestions regarding CLE topics that may be helpful to you.

The Federal Bar Association invites all new lawyers to join the FBA, and to apply for admission to the United States District Court of Arizona. The Annual Swearing-In Ceremony for attorneys newly admitted to the United States District Court of Arizona is held in December. Newly admitted members are welcome to bring family and others important to them to the admission ceremony, which is held in the ceremonial courtroom and is well-attended by the District Court judges.

Members and non-members are invited to attend our CLEs. You can sign up and pay on line.

The first event was the FBA’s annual Bench & Bar luncheon on September 20, 2007, noon – 1 p.m., at the Arizona Inn. It was a great opportunity to meet the U.S. District Judges and to get practice pointers from: – Hon. John Roll, Chief Judge of the District of Arizona – Hon. John Bury, U.S. District Judge – Hon. Jennifer Guerin, U.S. Magistrate Judge

Thank you for visiting!
