Special interim claims due to coronavirus -- These policies are now permanent.

These policies are now permanent.

Create an Early Interim to submit a pre-AOB claim when the record is over 1500 pages long or the augmented or corrected record has not been filed for 90 days. Claim time only for record review. Do not claim any other time or expense.

Create a Supplemental Interim to submit a claim after you have filed the reply brief. The claim is cumulative and the time and expenses you claimed on prior claims will populate. Do not make changes to the prepopulated entries. Add time only for reviewing the respondent's brief and preparing the reply brief. Do not add any other time or expense to the claim.

Please contact Lynelle Hee at lkh@adi-sandiego.com if you have questions, need assistance, or are seeking project authorization to submit other claims due to financial hardship.
