Our chapter covers the Southern District of Florida, ranging from Key West to Fort Pierce. Based in Miami, we host a series of events dedicated to improving federal court practice. We also actively support programs that give back to the community.
The South Florida Chapter sponsors two luncheon series. From November through May, we host monthly luncheons at the Bankers Club in Miami. Our “Bankers Club” luncheons typically attract 100-150 attendees. The guest speaker presentations vary from an open question and answer session with two district judges to a formal presentation by a national celebrity.
For our members only, we have our “Boardroom Series” lunches. The Boardroom Series consist of a maximum of 20 lawyers having lunch in an open forum with two federal judges around a boardroom table.
Further, every February the South Florida Chapter hosts a judicial reception at the Hyatt Hotel in Miami. Law firms from throughout the Distict sponsor the event which typically is attended by federal and state judges throughout South Florida.
Finally, we are always looking for new ideas to better federal court practice. If you have an idea or have experienced a successful program which we could implement, do not hesitate to contact me. We intend to increase our events for members only therefore please encourage your colleagues and friends to join the Federal Bar and our chapter.
On behalf of the South Florida chapter’s executive board, I thank you for visiting our Scribd site and I look forward to seeing you at one of our upcoming events.
