I. Introduction to the Courthouse CLE

FBA-NOVA is proud to present this annual program designed to acquaint new lawyers with the operation and function of the Court and various federal agencies in both civil and criminal cases. The program will include speakers from the bench, bar, the EDVA Clerk’s Office, the United States Attorney’s Office, the Federal Public Defender’s Office, the U.S. Probation Office, and the U.S. Marshals Service.

II. SPECIAL ADMISSION CEREMONY

For those who wish to be admitted to practice before the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, this CLE program includes a Special Virtual Admission Ceremony, at which the president of FBA-NOVA will move for your admission and you will take the Oath of Admission before a panel of EDVA judges.

To take advantage of this ceremony, you must:

1. Register for the CLE above.

2. Mail or hand-deliver the following materials to the Courthouse. Applications must be received by 5pm on Friday, March 5, 2021.

  • a cover sheet stating that you are participating in the FBA Virtual Admission Ceremony

  • an application for admission (signed by two members of the EDVA Bar)

  • a check for $188 payable to "Clerk, U.S. District Court.” (This $188 courthouse fee is specifically for the admission process and separate from the FBA fee for the CLE. Questions about the special admission ceremony may be directed to Amanda Otto at 703.299.2131.)
