Under the Plan for the Administration of the District Court Fund and the Regulations Governing the Reimbursement of Expenses in Pro Bono Cases, the court will reimburse out-of-pocket expenses incurred by court-recruited lawyers, up to $6,000. Covered expenses are detailed in the Regulations Governing the Reimbursement of Expenses in Pro Bono Cases, and include expert fees, deposition and transcript costs, travel expenses, and witness fees. Recruited lawyers seeking reimbursement of covered expenses must file on the docket under seal a completed Request for Reimbursement of Expenses* along with supporting documentation such as receipts or invoices. Once the judge assigned to the case approves the request, the clerk will issue a check to the recruited lawyer.
