    BLI Registration Update

    We want you to be aware of some potential issues with our online registration system. Some online registrations have not gone through completely and some individuals who believe they are registered are, in fact, not registered. If you do not receive an emailed receipt confirming your registration (and you have checked your spam folder), you likely are not registered. To remove any doubts, please contact Katie Binhack at katie.binhack@americanbar.org and she will confirm your registration status. We recommend some potential solutions as we continue to work to solve these issues: You may fax a completed PDF registration form to the ABA Service Center at (312) 988-5850. You may call the Service Center at (800) 285-2221 to register over the phone.
