How may I renew my membership if I cannot afford my dues?
Members may use their automatic grace period, use a payment plan for dues, or request for a partial or full waiver of dues. Here's how to proceed with these renewal options.
AILA Members automatically receive a 60-day grace period after their membership expires, and retain full membership benefits during this time.
A payment plan for membership dues is also available to renewing AILA regular attorney members. Simply sign up for the payment plan at checkout.
For a step-by-step guide on using the payment plan for membership dues, see our Help Center article, How do I use a payment plan for AILA membership dues?
According to AILA’s Bylaws, “The Executive Committee may waive any of the eligibility requirements of Membership with respect to any applicant upon the affirmative vote of two-thirds (2/3) of the Executive Committee.”
Request a waiver of dues by submitting an AILA National Waiver Request Submission Form. Your request will be received by the AILA National Membership Committee, who will contact you as developments on your request occur. Please allow 4-6 weeks for determination on your waiver request.
