The U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana is pleased to present the Fourth Federal Bench and Bar Conference on Friday, September 11, 2026, at the Hilton Riverside Hotel in New Orleans. Registration and breakfast begin at 7:30 a.m., and the programs begin at 8:30 a.m. Lunch will be provided, and the conference will conclude a 5:15 p.m. Seating is limited, so only registered and confirmed attorneys will be admitted to the conference.
The “Agenda” tab provides more details about the conference schedule, and the “Bios” tab provides details about the conference speakers. The “Venue” tab includes important details about parking.
CANCELLATION POLICY – If you are unable to attend the conference, you must cancel your registration by emailing fbbc@laed.uscourts.gov. Many attorneys remain on the waitlist, and we would like to ensure that every available seat is filled. Because the program is being offered at a substantial cost to the Court, you may be assessed the cost of your attendance and barred from future conferences if you fail to notify the Court in the event you are unable to attend. Registrations are non-transferable.
The conference has been accredited for six hours of CLE credit in Louisiana, including one hour of Ethics and one hour of Professionalism credit.
Please contact the Court at fbbc@laed.uscourts.gov with any questions.
