California State Bar Considers Fee Increase

The California State Bar has submitted its Justification for a Licensing Fee Increase to the Chief Justice of California and to the Assembly and Senate Judiciary Committees. The report outlines the State Bar’s justification for a 2025 fee increase. The report also discusses options for structuring the fee and contains recommendations for shifting to a tiered system based on different practice sectors.

The State Bar proposes that the Legislature authorize an automatic annual CPI adjustment to the licensing fee.

Join us on May 2nd for a virtual townhall with California State Bar Executive Director Leah Wilson,  to discuss the proposed fee increase and the options for structuring these fees and have you questions answered.
