Compensation — CAP : Los Angeles

E-Claims

Statewide Appointed Counsel Claims Manual (here) - New topics include “Printing a Digital Record” (page 27) and “Scanning a Paper Record” (page 32).

Appellate Project COVID-19 Claims Memo - As of November 2022, the COVID-19 Early Interim Claims Policy has been made permanent. The following additional interim claims may be submitted under this policy:

• A pre-AOB interim claim: (1) where the record length exceeds 1,500 pages, or (2) where counsel has been waiting for an augmented or corrected record longer than 90 days. For these types of early interim claims, counsel will only be compensated for time spent on record review (Line 2). All other categories of work can and should be billed on the interim claim submitted after the AOB is filed, as is standard practice.

• An additional, post-AOB interim claim may be submitted after the reply brief is filed. The only additional time billed should be for time spent on drafting the reply brief itself (Line 8) and for reviewing the opposing brief (Line 10).

Updating Address and Tax Information

Attorney Information Sheet and STD 204 Form

When you start on the panel or if you change your address, email or tax identification number, the original of the above information sheet must be sent to the JCC with a copy to CAP. To make sure that CAP has your correct address while the JCC is processing the change, we recommend calling the Duty Day attorney with the updated information.

The Court of Appeal will use the address and telephone number that you provided on the first document filed in your case as your address and telephone number of record until you provide written notice of a new address or telephone number. (Rule 8.32(a))

When you change your address, you must promptly serve the other parties and file a notice (original plus 1 copy) of your change of address with the clerk's office. The Court of Appeal may not accept a new filing from you if your address on the document does not match your address of record. Also, you may experience a delay in receiving documents mailed by the court. (See Rule 8.32(b)).
