Dues Structure
The rates for annual dues listed on the membership form are suggested amounts. You can pay more or less based on your ability. This is done quite frequently and should not prevent you from joining. No lawyer, legal worker, jailhouse lawyer or law student who wants to join should hesitate to do so for financial reasons. We want YOU, not your money.
