- AILA NorCal members who qualify for AILA National’s nonprofit rate will have the AILA NorCal annual membership fee waived.
- AILA NorCal members who qualify for AILA National’s nonprofit rate qualify to have monthly meeting costs waived except for 1) meetings involving dinners and 2) meetings held jointly with other organizations.
- Legal Assistants and Paralegals working in for-profit firms may attend AILA NorCal meetings and events if accompanied by an attorney from the same office or firm who is an AILA NorCal member. These Legal Assistants may not attend without an attorney from the same office or firm who is an AILA NorCal member. This policy is in place, in part, to reduce the possibility of access for notarios and other individuals improperly holding themselves out to be attorneys. Legal Assistants and Paralegals working in for-profit firms accompanied by an AILA attorney will pay the same amount as for-profit AILA members for any event.
- Legal Assistants and Paralegals who work for nonprofit organizations with AILA members on staff may attend AILA meetings and events even if not accompanied by an attorney who is an AILA NorCal member. This policy is in place because several non-profits with AILA member attorneys have accredited representatives on staff who assist clients in a way that benefits the goals of AILA. If the nonprofit Legal Assistant or Paralegal attending a meeting is attending in the place of (i.e. instead of) an AILA member who qualified for AILA National’s nonprofit rate, then the nonprofit Legal Assistant or Paralegal’s meeting fees will be waived (as the AILA member who qualified for AILA National’ nonprofit rates’ fees would have been waived if he or she attended – see #2 above). Legal Assistants and Paralegals working for nonprofit agencies attending a meeting in addition to the nonprofit AILA attorney (and not instead of the nonprofit AILA attorney) will pay the same amount for the meeting as for-profit AILA NorCal members.
- AILA student members may attend NorCal’s monthly CLEs and New Members Division CLEs at no charge except for: 1) meetings involving lunch/dinner or 2) meetings held jointly with other organizations.
- Students who are not AILA members may attend AILA meetings if accompanied by an AILA NorCal member. Such students will be charged a discounted fee of $15 with a valid student ID.
- Refunds will be provided upon request until the first RSVP deadline for any meeting or event. Any processing fees that AILA NorCal is charged by the online registration provider (usually $3-$5), will be subtracted from the refund. After the first RSVP deadline, no requests for refunds will be honored.
