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.
Attorneys can check their attorney registration status
On April 2, 2009 upon motion by the First Department’s Departmental Disciplinary Committee, the Court issued an order suspending approximately 900 attorneys admitted to practice law in the State of New York and required to register for the biennial periods 2004-2005 or 2005-2006, whose surnames begin with the letter “A” through “K” inclusive, who had not responded to various notices of their failure to comply with Judiciary Law §468-a.
