# Case Interest

***

The third step in the Attorney Referrals process is to indicate your case interest.

{% hint style="warning" %}
**Interest deadline**

You must indicate your case interest prior to the deadline. If you don't enter your case interest by the deadline, you will no longer be considered for the case.
{% endhint %}
