As provided for in Standing Order 2012-02. inactive members of this Court's bar may

ORDERED that inactive members of the bar may request reactivation of membership by
(I) submitting a request as provided for by the Clerk of Court and (2) paying a fee that is equal to
twice the renewal fee set by the Court. Payment of the reactivation fee will not be excused when
the attorney claims not to have received notice of renewal; and it is further
ORDERED that this procedure shall only apply to inactive members of the bar who
became inactive for failure to renew membcrship. Local Rule 705.4 continues to apply to all
other rcqucsts for reinstatement; and it is further
ORDERED that members shall be reactivated for a full. regular term of membership and
subject to regular renewal as provided under Local Rule 702.b; and it is further
ORDERED that this policy shall go into effect on January 1.2017. and supersede any
existing policy on membership reactivation due to failure to renew membership.
