Pay The Dues

There seems to have been a recent upsurge in  bar discipline cases brought against attorneys who have not paid their annual bar dues or have otherwise failed to maintain their good standing as an active bar member. The Illinois ARDC recently brought charges alleging that an attorney had engaged in three instances of unauthorized practice after such a suspension. The charges state that the dues were eventually paid and the attorney restored to active membership in the Illinois Bar. (Mike Frisch)
