Please note that a Certificate of Good Standing is required if you are changing your status from inactive to active. 

 

Please also note that each attorney is individually responsible for timely payment. If your dues are being paid by a government agency and the payment is not timely received, you may still be subject to late payment fees and other penalties. Failure to timely pay may result in suspension as specified in the Bylaws.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
