Travel related expenses that are incidental to the representation (e.g., transportation, lodging, meals, car rental, parking, tolls, etc.) must be itemized on a travel expense worksheet that indicates the date each expense was incurred. Attach supporting documentation (receipts, canceled checks, etc.) for all travel expenses over $50, except mileage. Travel expenses by privately owned automobile, motorcycle, or aircraft should be claimed at the rate in effect for federal employees at the time of travel. To properly record mileage, list the specific number of miles traveled multiplied by the rate in effect at the time of the travel. Please do not simply enter the total dollar amount without specifying the number of miles and the rate you used to arrive at that dollar figure. For overnight travel, reasonable expenses for lodging and meals will be reimbursed on an actual expense basis; per diem is not allowed. Please note that out-of-state travel plans (e.g. air, train or car) require pre-approval by the court. When required to travel out-of-state, you can only be reimbursed for the least expensive form of travel. Thus, you should compare the cost of driving at the applicable mileage rate (including tolls and parking) against the cost of plane or train fare. Once you have determined the estimated cost of the least expensive form of travel, you must submit a Motion for Out-of-State Travel requesting court approval for the estimated cost. Counsel is limited to the prevailing travel and subsistence rates applicable to federal employees. Prior to any overnight or out-of-state travel, counsel should contact the clerk’s office to obtain the applicable rates and federal government travel regulations. All non-travel expenses should be itemized on a non-travel expense worksheet. Provide the date incurred and a brief description of each expense. Supporting documentation such as receipts, canceled checks, or affidavits must be submitted for any single expense in excess of $50.
