FROM: Randall W. Schnack, Supervising CJA Attorney
RE: Billings for Paralegals and Law Clerks
To comply with new 9th Circuit capital habeas budget reporting requirements, those capital habeas attorneys currently utilizing paralegals and/or law clerks and who bill these fees as expenses on the CJA 30 voucher form must now submit these fees on a CJA 31 voucher form (available at www.cacd.uscourts.gov under Forms). A court order authorizing the utilization of paralegals and/or law clerks must be attached to each CJA 31 voucher submitted.
If you are included in the above situation and do not have a court order authorizing the use of paralegals and/or law clerks, you must now obtain such authorization.
Please call if you have any questions. |
