2011-12 Checklist – NHBA Dues and Supreme Court Fees & Forms
PAYMENT REMINDER FOR FY 2011-2012: The New Hampshire Bar Association collects NH Supreme Court fees as well as NHBA dues. The TWO invoices included in your dues packet should be paid with TWO separate checks; one made payable to the New Hampshire Bar Association for the amount noted on the Association dues invoice, and one made payable to “NHBA Court Fees Service” for the amount on the Court Fees invoice.
STEP 1 - REVIEW your NEW HAMPSHIRE BAR ASSOCIATION dues invoice
To add a new Section membership, please review the instructions on the BACK of your New Hampshire Bar Association dues invoice.
To resign from a Section, draw a line through the Section Description in the “CHANGES IN SECTIONS” area on the BACK of the Dues Invoice. On the FRONT of the invoice, subtract the amount shown in Part C. Section Adjustments for each deleted Section on the Section Adjustments line of the “DUES TOTALS” area of the invoice remittance stub.
Total all the amounts in the “DUES TOTALS” area, including any voluntary donation you wish to make to the Campaign for Legal Services. Write the total on the line labeled “TOTAL AMOUNT ENCLOSED”, and make your check for that amount payable to New Hampshire Bar Association.
Please be sure to indicate which employment category best describes your practice.
STEP 2 - REVIEW your NEW HAMPSHIRE SUPREME COURT fees invoice
For your convenience, the New Hampshire Bar Association collects the mandatory fees listed on your enclosed Supreme Court invoice on behalf of the NH Supreme Court. Please include a separate check for the amount indicated on the Supreme Court fees invoice, made payable to “NHBA Court Fees Service”.
