Government Attorneys Forum Networking Event


Approximately 50 attorneys attended APABA-DC’s Government Attorneys Forum Networking Event on January 23rd at Singapore Bistro. The networking event kicked-off APABA-DC’s new Government Attorneys Forum.

The Honorable Brian G. Kim, a judge on the District Court of Maryland for Montgomery County, noted that the purpose of Governments Attorneys Forum is to encourage and support APA attorneys at all levels of the federal and local governments, cultivate an understanding of the issues facing APA government attorneys, promote the value of public service, increase the representation of APA attorneys in all branches of government, and further their advancement, by providing substantive legal programming, career advice seminars, and social and networking opportunities. Judge Kim also spoke about his extensive experience as a government attorney and what it means to be a government attorney.
