The statute requires the Chief Justice to summon the Judicial Conference
into session annually, at such time and place in the United States
as he may designate. Traditionally, the Chief Justice has called
the annual meeting in September and a semi-annual session in March.
The members are required to attend each session unless excused by
the Chief Justice, who will designate a replacement. The Conference
generally meets in Washington, D.C., at the Supreme Court building.
Separate meetings of the circuit chief judges and the district
judge representatives typically follow the Conference session and
are chaired by judges selected from the membership. The meetings
are held at the Thurgood Marshall Federal Judiciary Building in
Washington, D.C.
