Join the Arlington County Bar Association for the first program in our new “A View From The Bench” series—an engaging and informal conversation with the Judges of the Arlington General District Court. 

This special event offers members a unique opportunity to hear directly from the judges about courtroom practices, expectations, and insights into effective advocacy in General District Court.

Our panel of judges will share their perspectives on what makes for efficient hearings, common pitfalls to avoid, and how attorneys can best serve clients and the administration of justice. The discussion will include time for questions and open dialogue, fostering a collegial exchange between the bench and the bar.

Whether you’re a seasoned practitioner or new to General District Court, this is an invaluable opportunity to strengthen connections within Arlington’s legal community and gain practical, candid guidance from the judges who preside there every day.
