Crazy High Fees

10 Upvotes

Anyone on here recently move to CA and apply for the MJP program. Just on the MJP application fees ($2000) and Moral Character Determination ($1050) I'm already over $3000 in fees. Obviously not counting things like fees for the fingerprints, driving records, etc. All in all will be about $3,100 just to apply. Pretty wild.

Annual License Fee Confusion

1 Upvotes

Hey all, I submitted my oath package and am waiting for my approval through the attorney registry. I was told different information by attorneys about the annual license fee. Because I submitted it this month, of 2027, I'd have to pay a late fee? Or that I would be paying a fee to practice for the year of 2027, and then have to pay another $600 in March to pay for 2028? Or that by paying the fee I'll be getting soon it will count as if paying for both 2027 & 2028? I'm sure you can see why I'm confused.

I'm also curious about something else. My moral character expired but I submitted my oath package 4 days after (expired this month). Strangely, on my account, my moral character still says approved 2 weeks since the expiration email. I do wonder how that will work with my moral character. Will I get an email saying I wasn't approved or will they just stay silent all throughout the process? And I wonder, if I have to make a new moral character, can I get the fee waived by trying to speak with them through their office of admissions number they have on their Moral Character FAQ? Does anyone know if thats even possible?

Thanks
