The Federal Bar Association (FBA) is a professional association in the legal services sector, based in Arlington, Virginia. Founded in 1920, it aims to advance the science of jurisprudence and to promote the welfare, education, and professional development of attorneys who practice federal law. Its membership exceeds 18,000 and encompasses lawyers in private practice of various sizes, corporate and federal agency counsel, and members of the judiciary. The FBA serves as a conduit for communication among the bar, the bench, and both public and private sectors. The organization supports ongoing professional activity through events and chapter leadership across regions. A notable development in October 2025 was the election of Rhode Island Chapter leaders, reflecting active engagement at the local level.
