Melissa Aubin, Clerk of Court

Applicants to the bar of the U.S. District Court for the District of Oregon are required to pay an application fee before they may be admitted. After submitting a request for admission via PACER, applicants will receive a message from the admissions clerk with a link to pay the admissions fee.

On receiving the notice, applicants should click the link or browse to: ecf.ord.uscourts.gov/n/baradmission/pages/barAdmission.jsf to access the Bar Admission fee utility in ECF. Applicants will be prompted to log in with PACER.

Do not use this link to pay an admissions fee unless you are applying for admission and have been instructed to do so by the admissions clerk. If you have questions about your admissions status, contact the court.
