Welcome!
Tal J. Lifshitz
President 2022-2023
​


Welcome to the South Florida Chapter of the Federal Bar Association. As one of the largest federal bar chapters in the country, we are committed to supporting our federal practitioners, the federal courts, and our local South Florida community.
​
We invite you to explore our website, where you can find descriptions of our upcoming and past events, initiatives important to our Chapter, including pro bono and community involvement opportunities, membership registration, and contact information for our officers and board members.
We are also active on LinkedIn, and invite you to follow us there for the most up-to-date news on our Chapter’s activities.
We always strive to provide our membership with informative CLE programming, in-person networking functions, and other opportunities for our federal practitioners and judiciary to interact outside of the courtroom. We hope you will join us, and know that you’ll enjoy if you do.
​​
I look forward to meeting you, and encourage you to reach out to me directly with ideas on how we as an organization might better serve you and our federal legal community.
Thank you to our federal bench and bar for the continued support of our Chapter.
