License renewal deadline for Michigan attorneys approaching
The deadline for the 2023-2024 Michigan law license renewal process is fast approaching. Payment must be received or postmarked by the post office by Thursday, November 30, to avoid a $50 late fee.
Attorneys can renew their law license by logging in at michbar.org/Member Area?and clicking “Renew Your License Now” at the bottom. For additional information about license renewal, see the FAQ at www.michbar.org/licenserenewalfaq.
As a reminder, this year’s license renewal includes new requirements for private practice attorneys to ensure compliance with Rule 21: Mandatory Interim Administrator Planning, which requires private practice attorneys to make an interim administrator plan and name a person with knowledge of their practice. Private practice attorneys should review these requirements at?michbar.org/Rule21?prior to beginning their license renewal.
Anyone with questions about fees, require assistance with the website or payment process may email SBMfinance@ michbar.org.
ABA webinar Nov. 30 to explore the state of civil legal aid in America
Three experts and a prominent legal writer will discuss the state of civil legal aid in America in a special online program Nov. 30.
The one-hour webinar — “Civil Legal Aid in America: A Challenge for Equal Justice” — coincides with the release of the 2023 ABA Profile of the Legal Profession, an annual compilation of statistics and trends among lawyers, judges and law students.
New to the Profile report this year is a count of paid legal aid lawyers nationwide. The report will show differences in the number of legal aid attorneys among the 50 states and even within states. The report will highlight areas that have many legal aid lawyers and places where there are few.
The webinar panel will include:
• Lincoln Caplan (moderator) – Yale University lecturer and author of law and public affairs books and articles, including “The Invisible Justice Problem”
• Rebecca Sandefur – Arizona State University professor, director of the Sanford School of Social and Family Dynamics and a faculty fellow with the American Bar Foundation
• Radhika Singh – National Legal Aid & Defender Association vice president for civil legal services and strategic policy initiatives
• Jeniece Jones – Executive director of the Public Justice Center, a Maryland statewide civil legal service provider
The program take place from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. on Thursday, Nov. 30, on Zoom. Registration is required to attend.
