Membership dues are based on earliest year of admission to any bar in any state or country and location of applicant's office. Fees for judicial members and those without an office are determined by their legal residence.

Applicants pay a One-Time Admission Fee which is a one-time payment equal to their first year's dues. (The Admission Fee is waived in certain circumstances.)

Those who have special circumstances that make it difficult to join or maintain their membership, please contact the Membership Office at 212-382-6665 or membership@nycbar.org
