2026/2027 Membership Fees
Important Notice: Membership Fee Updates and Annual Structuring
Effective September 1, 2026, A.L.L. will be implementing an update to our membership fee structure. For the first time since A.L.L.’s inception in 2018, the Board has approved a fee increase of $50 per year for the 2026/27 and 2027/28 fiscal years. However, recognizing the unique financial constraints and uncertainty that newer roster members face, the Board has capped the increase at just $15 for those in the 0 to 2 years of call category to ensure we continue to support and recruit new lawyers early in their careers.
Alongside these rate adjustments, we are streamlining our renewal process. To eliminate the confusion caused by the previous rolling 365-day system, membership fees will now be strictly structured as annual fees operating on a fixed fiscal year from September 1 to August 31. Starting September 1, 2026, membership fees will apply to the current fiscal year.
Lock In Current Rates: Summer Membership Drive
To avoid this fee increase, A.L.L. is launching a membership drive from June 1 to August 31, 2026. Our goal is to grow our sustained active membership from 300 to 500 lawyers. We highly encourage both existing and new members to take advantage of this window: any members who pay their 2026/2027 fees before August 31 will be locked in at our current, lower rates.
