Corporation Law Departments

A Full Corporate Membership requires that all attorneys in the law department be registered and paid for at the beginning of the membership term which runs from October 1st through September 30th. At least one of the attorneys must be listed as a Proprietor for all the members of the law department to have circulation privileges. Paralegals and clerks are registered at no additional charge as long as their total number does not exceed the total number of attorneys registered and paid for.

Once the dues for the term has been paid, new attorneys who join the law department may be added to the membership list at no additional charge for the remainder of the term. A full firm that removes a member from its membership roster at the end of a fiscal year and subsequently adds that same former member during the following fiscal year will be billed the full annual amount for that member.

Full Corporate Members are allowed to call and reserve materials for messenger pick-up. Full Corporate Members can place Copy Center orders at the regular fees. (Limited Corporate members are assessed a $10.00 surcharge per order.)

A Limited Corporate Membership requires that 75% of all attorneys in the law department be registered and paid for at the beginning of the membership term. Plan B is not available to accounts with 50 or more attorneys. At least one of the attorneys must be listed as a Proprietor for all the Library members at the law department to have circulation privileges. Paralegals and clerks may be registered at an additional charge but their total number must not exceed the total number of attorneys listed.

Throughout the term, new attorneys, paralegals and clerks who join the law department may be added to the membership list for the current membership fee for the remainder of the term.

Limited Corporate Members cannot call and reserve materials for messenger pick-up. When Limited Corporate Members place Copy Center orders they pay the regular fees as well as a $10.00 surcharge per order.

A Less Than 5 Membership allows a small law department to register and pay for as many attorneys as it would like listed.

A Proprietor membership is required in order to circulate materials from the Library. The one-time Proprietor Initiation Fee of $50.00 is paid the first year a Proprietor joins the Library. Each year thereafter, the Proprietor is responsible for the annual dues to keep the membership current. Proprietor status is not transferable.

Attorneys must register as either Proprietors or Subscribers. A Subscriber membership allows the use of the resources of the Library but does not include circulation privileges unless the law department has a Proprietor listed.
