Membership Categories
Please note that every membership must include a Proprietor or Subscriber. Registration forms which list only Paralegals or Clerks will not be accepted.
Proprietor
A Proprietor membership is necessary in order to circulate materials from the Library and requires payment of a one-time Proprietor Initiation Fee of $50.00. Sole practitioners who are Proprietors may also call and reserve materials for pick-up.
Subscriber
A Subscriber membership allows a Sole Practitioner to use the resources of the Library but does not include circulation privileges.
Paralegal and Clerk
Sole Practitioner members are allowed to list one paralegal or clerk on their membership at no additional charge. Individuals who have taken the bar exam cannot be listed under these categories. They must be listed as either Proprietors or Subscribers.
