11th Cir. R. 46-2

Each attorney admitted to the bar

of this court shall pay the bar membership renewal fee prescribed by the court and posted on the

court’s website every five years from the date of admission. A new certificate of admission will not

issue upon payment of this fee. During the first week of the month in which an attorney’s renewal

fee is due, the clerk shall send by mail, e-mail, or other means a notice to the attorney using the

contact information on the roll of attorneys admitted to practice before this court (attorney roll), and

advise the attorney that payment of the renewal fee is due by the last day of that month. If the notice

is returned undelivered due to incorrect or invalid contact information, no further notice will be sent.

If the renewal fee is not paid by the last day of the month in which the notice is sent, the attorney’s

membership in the bar of this court will be placed in inactive status for a period of 12 months,

beginning on the first day of the next month. An attorney whose bar membership is in inactive status

may not practice before the court. To renew a bar membership, including one in inactive status, an

attorney must complete a bar membership renewal form, available at www.ca11.uscourts.gov. The

renewal form must be accompanied by the non-refundable bar membership renewal fee. All

attorneys must use the court’s Electronic Case Files (ECF) system to submit their renewal forms and

payments.

After 12 months in inactive status, if an attorney has not paid the bar membership renewal

fee, the clerk shall strike the attorney’s name from the attorney roll. An attorney whose name is

stricken from the attorney roll due to nonpayment of the renewal fee who thereafter wishes to

practice before the court must apply for admission to the bar pursuant to 11th Cir. R. 46-1, unless

the attorney is eligible to be admitted for a particular proceeding pursuant to 11th Cir. R. 46-3.
