A motion must be filed in CM/ECF. If approved, then the Associate will be added to the case in eVoucher. For billing, these steps must occur:

There is a new associate functionality which allows an appointed attorney using the services of an associate attorney to add claims for services and expenses to their own CJA 20/30. So, when you create your CJA20/30 on the Basic Info tab there will be an Associate Info section where you can select one of three access options (I have included the breakdown of each for you). Just note that payment for the voucher still goes to the selected preferred payee.

a. Not on Voucher: This voucher does not include any claims for services and/or expenses for the associate attorney.

b. On Voucher, No Edit: This voucher includes claims for services and/or expenses for the associate attorney. While the voucher is in Voucher Entry mode, the associate has read-only access. They can only view their own entries on this voucher. Only the appointed attorney can add, remove, edit, and save entries on behalf of the associate.

c. On Voucher, Can Edit: This voucher includes claims for services and/or expenses for the associate attorney. While the voucher is in Voucher Entry mode, both the appointed attorney and the associate can add, remove, edit, and save their entries on this voucher. The associate always has access to only their voucher entries.

If it is a voucher in which you are claiming time for an associate (option b or c), the services and expenses tab will have an Attorney drop-down field where you can select the attorney's name.
