What is the cost of the dues for Inactive Members?
A. Under the new Supreme Court Order, members sworn in between October 1 and March 31 and choose Inactive member status are required to submit $217.50 for the current fiscal year ending September 30. The $217.50 includes dues for the Attorney Discipline System ($120.00), State Bar of Michigan ($90.00) and Client Protection Fund ($7.50). Inactive members sworn in between April 1 September 30 are required to submit $108.75 for the remainder of the current fiscal year ending September 30 (one half of a full years dues). Inactive members may not practice law in the State of Michigan while on this status. An inactive member for over 3 years must be recertified by the Board of Law Examiners and may be required to take the Bar Exam again.
