The Federal Bar Association Maryland Chapter has honored longtime member Mark S. Saudek with the 2026 Peter A. DiRito Award, the chapter's highest recognition for public service that strengthens the federal legal profession.

On June 12, 2025, the Federal Bar Association Maryland Chapter gathered for a vibrant evening of networking and camaraderie at TopGolf. While members enjoyed reconnecting and sharing professional updates, the focal point of the evening was the presentation of the 2025 DiRito Award, which honors exceptional public service in support of the FBA’s mission.
