On Friday, April 25, 2025, the United States District Court for the District of Puerto Rico proudly hosted a delegation of approximately 20 attorneys from the American Bar Association (ABA) at the José V. Toledo U.S. Courthouse in Old San Juan. The visiting group included members from the ABA’s Section of Civil Rights and Social Justice and Section of State and Local Government Law.

Chief Judge Raúl M. Arias-Marxuach received the delegation and made a presentation on the history of the District Court and its role within the federal judiciary in Puerto Rico.

As a token of appreciation, the Court presented the visiting attorneys with copies of "The History of the Federal Court in Puerto Rico." The event reflected the Court’s commitment to fostering dialogue with the broader legal community and promoting a deeper understanding of Puerto Rico’s unique legal landscape.
