Universal Citation: 94 ME Code Rules ยง 649-301-5
Current through 2024-13, March 27, 2024

Counsel may bill a minimum fee of 3 hours for appearances as Lawyer of the Day, or in specialty or diversionary courts or programs. A single minimum fee may be charged for each appearance at which the Counsel serves. If Counsel serves as Lawyer of the Day for a morning session that continues into the afternoon, that will be one appearance. If Counsel serves as Lawyer for the Day for a morning session and then a subsequent afternoon session with a second appearance time and list, that will be two appearances. Vouchers seeking the minimum fee must show the actual time expended and the size of the minimum fee adjustment rather than simply stating that the minimum fee is claimed. In addition to previously scheduled representation at initial appearance sessions, Lawyer of the Day representation includes representation of otherwise unrepresented parties at the specific request of the court on a matter that concludes the same day. Only a single minimum fee may be charged per appearance regardless of the number of clients consulted at the request of the court.
