In addition to the law student registration and examination fees provided for in Rule III, Sections 2(A) and 3 and Rule IV, Sections 2 and 3, any applicant who has previously been admitted to the practice of law in any other jurisdiction shall pay at the time of registration an additional fee in such amount as the National Conference of Bar Examiners may charge in connection with a character investigation. The Board or the Committee may also require any applicant to pay the additional costs of investigation when circumstances require a character investigation more costly than the usual investigation.
The cost of any record, document, or conduction of an investigation or inquiry concerning an application shall be paid by the applicant. The cost of any transcript or record incurred during the conduction of a hearing shall be paid by the applicant. Upon determining that additional costs of investigation shall be assessed, the Board or the Committee shall notify the applicant thereof, along with the amount of the additional costs for which he is required to pay. Said sums shall be due from applicant immediately upon receipt of notice thereof. If payment of the additional costs is not received by the Board within thirty (30) days of the date of such notice to applicant, the application shall be considered withdrawn, and the applicant shall not be considered for admission. For good cause shown for non-payment, the Board may extend the time within which payment must be received before the application is deemed withdrawn. From the time of the determination that additional costs of investigation should be charged to the applicant until the same are paid, neither the Board nor the Committee shall proceed further with the application.
