San Francisco associate Christina Sarraf has been named the Co-Chair of the Younger Lawyers Division of the Northern District of California Chapter of the Federal Bar Association (FBA). The Younger Lawyers Division is the largest division of the FBA, “with over 4,000 members, and it serves approximately one-fourth of the FBA’s total membership” and “represents the newest additions to the federal bar, composed of members who are 40 years old or younger or have been admitted to practice for less than 10 years.” Christina was elected to the FBA’s Executive Committee earlier this year.
The FBA, founded in 1920, holds itself out as being dedicated to the advancement of the science of jurisprudence and to promoting the welfare, interests, education, and professional development of all attorneys involved in federal law. Among other things, the organization advocates making changes to and improving the federal legal system via a network of close to 100 chapters. The Northern District of California Chapter claims itself to be one of the most active chapters in the country, committed to “serving the needs of federal practitioners, Judges, and courts, as well as the Northern District of California community as a whole.”
