Important Tax Disclaimer:

Dues payments to AACJ are not deductible as charitable contributions for federal income tax purposes. However, dues payments may be deductible as ordinary and necessary business expense, subject to exclusion for lobbying activity. Because a portion of your dues is used for lobbying by AACJ, currently 100% of the total dues is non-deductible due to lobbying expenses.

*If you are experiencing financial difficulties and would struggle to afford membership dues, please contact us at info@aacj.org and ask about our Past-Presidents’ Scholarship program to get assistance*
