1. An attorney or group of attorneys responsible for an advertisement that must be filed in accordance with Practice Book §2-28A must do so, in full or in part, electronically through E-Services unless granted an exemption by the Statewide Bar Counsel’s Office.
    

2. To file an advertisement electronically, the attorney should first log onto E-Services with the attorney’s individual juris number. If a group of attorneys are filing the advertisement, one of them should log onto E-Services with his or her individual juris number.

3. After logging onto E-Services, the attorney should select the “File an Attorney Advertisement Feature” then select the “Attorney Advertisement Electronic Submission Form.” The logged in attorney’s name and information will be displayed at the top of the electronic form.
    

4. The attorney should next enter the individual juris numbers of each attorney responsible for the advertisement. As the juris numbers are entered they will be displayed with information about that attorney.
    

5. The attorney next should select the type of advertisement to be filed. The choices are URL(s), Print Advertisements, or Multi-Media Advertisements.
    

6. For website addresses only, select URL(s) and type in the domain name of each website being registered.
    

7. For Print Advertisements, create a PDF of the advertisement and save it to the computer’s hard drive. Next, use the Browse button on the attorney advertising electronic filing form to find the saved PDF on the hard drive. Double click the advertisement, then select the Update button to attach the advertisement to the electronic filing form. Click here for more information on creating a PDF.
    

8. If the PDF is greater than 20 MB in size, the attorney advertising electronic filing form must still be completed and filed electronically through E-Services, but a hard copy of the advertisement must be mailed to the Statewide Grievance Committee. The hard copy of the advertisement must clearly indicate the file number as found on the electronic filing receipt (see instruction 11). For technical problems, please refer to the Contact Us page.
    

9. For Multi-Media advertisements, the electronic filing form must be completed and filed electronically through E-Services, but the advertisement itself will be submitted in hard copy format on either a CD in MP3 format (radio and other non-video advertisements) or a video DVD (television and other video advertisements) The CD or DVD must clearly indicate on it the file number as found on the electronic filing receipt (see instruction 11).
    

10. If the attorney needs to return to a previous screen when filling out the attorney advertising electronic filing form, the “Back” button on the attorney’s web browser should not be used because it is not supported by E-Services. Instead, the attorney should use the option at the bottom of the screen being viewed.
     

11. Once the electronic filing form is submitted a screen confirming the filing and assigning a file number will appear. This screen should be printed for the attorney’s records.
