May will be a busy month for the Council – and I am thrilled to have several opportunities to see you all in person at various events throughout the month.

On April 1, 1932, then New York Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt signed the charter that established the Federal Bar Council. This month, we celebrate our 90th Anniversary – a remarkable milestone.

This month we want to tell you about an exciting initiative – the Federal Bar Council’s Access to Counsel Project (“A2C Project”). We have been unveiling bits and pieces about the program for the past year and are thrilled to finally launch the program this spring.
