Benjamin, who was recently named as an officer of the Federal Bar Association’s Orlando Chapter, joined the panel group of attorneys practicing in different areas of federal law for the event program, entitled “A Day in the Life of a Federal Attorney.” During the event, students had the opportunity to explore different areas of federal law and ask questions pertinent to practicing in federal court.

The Barry Law Chapter of the Federal Bar Association connects students with the Orlando and National Chapters of the FBA. The Barry University Dwayne O. Andreas School of Law provides graduates with the skills and knowledge needed to aid society through the competent and ethical practice of law. A Catholic institution of higher education, Barry University was founded in 1940 by the Adrian Dominican Sisters.
