    A PBCP member should take a case without an expectation of compensation. Nonetheless, the court’s Plan for the Reimbursement of Attorney Expenses in Civil Cases ("plan") under Miscellaneous Order No. 16 allows for reimbursement of certain expenses and attorney’s fees. The maximum that may be reimbursed for expenses is $3,500, and the maximum that may be paid for fees is $1,000. A copy of the plan is available on the court's website and in the District Clerk's Office.
