The Minnesota Chapter of the FBA is one of the largest and most active chapters of the FBA.  The Chapter collaborates with the U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota, affinity bar associations, and community partners to carry out its core mission of strengthening the federal legal system, promoting the administration of justice, expanding the diversity of the profession, and encouraging cordial and friendly relations among members of the federal bench and bar in Minnesota.  More information is available on the Chapter's website.
