The Legal Defense Fund was established by the Municipal Clerks’ Association to financially assist Municipal Clerks when actions have been taken against them in the performance of their duties.

The Legal Defense Fund application for FY2025 is now open to members of MCANJ. Initial Dues are $75 for the year and renewals are $25 for each subsequent year. Use your 4-digit Membership ID and password to log into the application. Once you complete the application, you will get confirmation of your membership. If paying by check, please mail a copy of the invoice with your check. Please make sure you mail the invoice and check to the Treasurer at the address listed on the invoice as the address changed from last year.

Payment is due by November 1, 2024. If your payment is not received by that date, you will be deleted from the system and have to join as a new member. Thank you!

Important! You must renew and pay for your MCANJ Annual Membership before you can join or renew with the Legal Defense Fund.
