Attorney Admissions Application Packet (Pro Hac Vice)

ATTORNEY ADMISSIONS APPLICATION PACKET (PRO HAC VICE). These forms are used by attorneys seeking temporary admission to practice before the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania under Local Rule of Civil Procedure 83.5.2(b), commonly known as admission pro hac vice. The motion form allows an out-of-state attorney who is not a member of the Pennsylvania bar or of the court’s bar to request permission to appear in a specific case. The motion must be accompanied by a certification from a sponsoring attorney who is already admitted to practice in this court. The sponsoring attorney attests to the applicant’s good standing and moral character and submits the required filing fee. The order form is used by the court to grant or deny the motion for admission, and if granted, directs the attorney to obtain ECF (electronic case filing) access through their PACER account. The certificate of service ensures that all parties are properly notified of the motion and proposed order. These documents collectively facilitate the formal and regulated process for an out-of-state attorney to represent a party in a federal case within this jurisdiction. www.FormsWorkflow.com
