ATTORNEY BAR RE-REGISTRATION INSTRUCTIONS

All attorneys admitted to the Bar of the District of Montana must renew their membership every two years.  The purpose of the re-registration is to keep the court’s attorney database accurate.

The District of Montana’s biennial re-registration is effective October 1, 2024.  Beginning on that date, attorneys admitted prior to October 1, 2022 will be required to re-register biennially to continue as active members of the District of Montana bar.  This includes both bankruptcy and district court bar members.  A fee of $50.00 will be charged at the time of re-registration.  Attorneys admitted after October 1, 2022 will re-register in the 2026 re-registration cycle.  Federal government attorneys as defined in L.R. 83.1(a)(2)(B) and Bankruptcy Panel Trustees are exempt from re-registration.  The re-registration period will remain open through October 31, 2024.
