Only active members of this Court's federal bar are eligible for re-registration. If you are in an inactive status (failed to re-register in 2003, suspended, disbarred, retired, etc.) you will not be able to pay the re-registration fee until you return to active status. Federal government and Pro Hac Vice attorneys are exempt from the re-registration fee.

If you recently changed your account information in PACER, please allow a few hours for the system to update after this Court has processed your request. You will be notified by email once your request is processed.

If you are unable to find your name in this search, and you were admitted prior to 2003, it means that your name has been dropped from the Roll of Attorneys for failure to re-register.

In 2003 the United States District Court required all members of the bar to re-register. Public notice was provided through Massachusetts Lawyers Weekly, postings on the court's website, and notices mailed to attorneys address on record with this Court. The re-registration period ran from April 2003 through March 16, 2012. Attorneys who failed to comply were put on Inactive status and may not be listed in our database.

Effective March 19, 2012, any attorney currently in an inactive status must apply for admission in the same fashion as any attorney seeking general admission. Information on the admission procedure may be found on the court's website under Attorneys.
