9th Circuit Judicial Conference

Lawyer Representatives to the 9th Circuit Judicial Conference

Lawyer Representatives work to foster open communications between judges and attorneys, and provide support and advice in the functioning of the courts by serving as a liaison between the federal bench and the practicing bar.  Please contact any of the members with questions or concerns regarding federal practice.

About being a representative: Important judicial conference meetings are held at different points during the year, including a key fall meeting, at which lawyer representatives are expected to attend in person in order to represent the Alaska District.  For more information please visit the 9th Circuit website.
