CJA FAQ: Expenses

  • In order to get my client out on bond, his property was used as surety. I needed to have a Title exam done before the U.S. Attorney’s Office would accept the papers. I would like to be reimbursed and want to claim this as an expense. May I?
  • My client needs clothes, a haircut and personal items so s/he looks presentable while appearing at court. I already purchased them and would like to be reimbursed. Can I claim these expenses on my voucher?
  • Does the district court or the court of appeals pay for appellate transcripts?
  • Is there a national CJA rate for copies?
  • I have expenses of more than $50. What do I do?
  • Can an attorney be reimbursed for purchasing a text book needed for a case?
