Pay Your Dues

The New York Appellate Division for the Third Judicial Department suspended 54 lawyers for failure to file a registration statement and pay the required registration fee. The attorneys were provided written notice and had failed to respond to the motions for suspension filed on behalf of the Committee on Professional Standards. The order does not take effect for 30 days, which presumably will give the lawyers an opportunity to correct the problem if they wish to continue to practice law.  (Mike Frisch)
