Friday, December 4, 2020

STANDING ORDER MC120-28

On September 16, 2020 a memorandum was issued by the Director of the Administrative Office of the United States Courts providing notice of an increase in the attorney admission fee to be collected by the Clerk’s Office of the United States District Court from one hundred eighty one dollars ($181.00) to one hundred eighty eight dollars ($188.00). This increased attorney fee is to become effective December 1, 2020.

In order for this Court to maintain its Special Court Fund in the same status it has been in the past, it is therefore necessary for the attorney admission fee for the Southern District of Georgia to be established and increased as follows: The fee to be charged commencing December 1, 2020 will be two hundred thirty-eight dollars ($238.00) for all attorneys seeking to plea and practice in this Court.1

IT IS ORDERED that the Clerk of Court for the Southern District of Georgia shall continue the maintenance and use of this trustee account as previously ordered by this Court in its orders dated February 22, 1984, August 21, 1992 and May 6, 1997.

ORDER ENTERED, this 4th day of December, 2020.

J. RANDAL HALL, CHIEF JUDGE
UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

 

1 This fee includes the new $188.00 Administrative Office Fee and the established $50.00 Local Court Fee.
