Annual Supreme Court Luncheon of the Capitol Hill Chapter of the Federal Bar Association

Since as early as 1975, the Capitol Hill Chapter of the Federal Bar Association has hosted its Annual Supreme Court Luncheon. The Chapter usually hosts the luncheon during the month of May in the West Conference Room of the Supreme Court of the United States. The Chapter has been privileged to have fourteen Supreme Court Justices address the chapter at least once. In addition, several Officers of the Court have addressed the Chapter, providing unparalleled insight into the operation of the Court. The Chapter is grateful for the continued assistance and support of William K. Suter, the Clerk of the Court, and Cynthia J. Rapp, the Assistant Clerk of the Court.
