Delinquent Registration
Notice to the Bar
Judiciary Law § 468-a requires that every attorney admitted to practice in the State of New York register and pay a $350 fee to the Chief Administrator of the Courts. Attorneys who default on this obligation are subject to the imposition of discipline by the Appellate Division. Office of Court Administration records indicate that several thousand lawyers admitted in or who work in the First Department are currently in default of Jud. Law § 468-a.
In a motion returnable November 12, 2007, the Departmental
Disciplinary Committee seeks a court order suspending 732 lawyers for
failing to re-register and pay their biennial registration
fees.
Attorneys can check their attorney registration status at www.courts.state.ny.us.
