Issue 2. Dues Increase.
The Appellate Practice Section Executive Committee proposes that the section increase dues from $15 to $20 starting in 2012. This increase would bring the section into the average range for bar section dues. Raising dues would allow the section more predictable funding for its regular member services, including CLEs, The Appellate Almanac, and the annual social event and would provide flexibility to consider undertaking additional projects or activities.
