A focal plane polarimeter intended for the CEBAF Hall A high resolution hadron spectrometer is under construction at Rutgers University and the College of William and Mary. Experiments with focal plane polarimeters are only now beginning at electron accelerators; they play a prominent role in the list of approved experiments for Hall A. Construction of the polarimeter is in progress, it is expected to be brought to CEBAF in spring 1995. Several coincidence (e,e{prime}{bar p}) and singles ({gamma},{bar p}) measurements by the Hall A Collaboration are expected to start in 1996. In this paper we describe the polarimeter and the physics program planned for it. {copyright} {ital 1995 American Institute of Physics.}
