Benjamin Elliott, a partner in Shutts & Bowen LLP’s Orlando office, recently attended the Federal Bar Association’s Leadership Summit in Washington D.C. in his capacity as President-Elect of FBA Orlando.
During the summit, Ben had the opportunity to meet with other FBA leaders from around the country to discuss issues that impact the practice of law in federal courts. While attending the summit, Ben also had the opportunity to attend a reception at the Supreme Court presented by the Foundation of the Federal Bar Association, honoring Associate Justice Kentaji Brown Jackson’s as an Honorary Life Member of the Federal Bar Foundation. Held March 22 to 23, 2024, the Leadership Summit offered engaging sessions and practical workshops while building in dedicated time for networking to develop national personal and professional relationships.
The Federal Bar Association (FBA), founded in 1920, is dedicated to the advancement of the science of jurisprudence and to promoting the welfare, interests, education, and professional development of all attorneys involved in federal law. Their members run the gamut of federal practice: attorneys practicing in small to large legal firms, attorneys in corporations and federal agencies, and members of the judiciary. The FBA is the catalyst for communication between the bar and the bench, as well as the private and public sectors.
The Orlando Chapter of the Federal Bar Association is an organization committed to the interests, education, and professional development of all federal court practitioners. Membership in the Orlando Chapter gives attorneys access to events, including CLE seminars, brown bag luncheons with local judges and federal agency heads, the annual morning at the federal courthouse for young lawyers, and marquee events such as the State of the District Luncheon. These events draw together the range of our Chapter’s members, including practitioners from firms of all sizes, government lawyers, in-house corporate counsel, and members of the federal judiciary.
