California Bar Journal

February, 2017

Attorneys who haven't yet paid their annual licensing fees (and whose fees aren't being picked up by their employer), have until March 1 to do so without penalty.

As a reminder, paper billing statements are not being sent. The State Bar has launched a new online billing and payment application for 2017 fees.

For individual payments, attorneys should log on to My State Bar Profile From there, attorneys can make online payments or print a paper statement that can be mailed with a check to the State Bar.

To make payments for a group of attorneys, law firms and agencies should use the State Bar's new Agency Billing system

Once an attorney's fees are paid, a paper bar card will be conveniently available for download through My State Bar Profile. Plastic bar cards are made available only on request and can also be ordered through My State Bar Profile

When paying your bill, please consider making a contribution in support of legal services for low income Californians. Your support is a lifeline that can help prevent homelessness, keep kids in school, protect elders from fraud and abuse and connect veterans to services, among other critical legal assistance.
