Application To Qualify As A Foreign Attorney (Pro Hac Vice)

APPLICATION TO QUALIFY AS A FOREIGN ATTORNEY UNDER LOCAL CIVIL RULE 83.1(E) AND LOCAL CRIMINAL RULE 57.4(E). This form is used in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia by attorneys who are not admitted to practice in that specific court but wish to appear pro hac vice—meaning, for a particular case only. This form allows an out-of-state or "foreign" attorney to request temporary admission to represent a party in a specific civil or criminal case. The applicant must provide personal and professional details, confirm that they are in good standing with another federal district court, and certify familiarity with the Federal Rules and the court’s local rules. A current member of the bar of the Eastern District of Virginia must sponsor the applicant, vouching for their qualifications and character. The form is submitted to the court for approval, and if granted, the applicant may participate in proceedings for that case. If the attorney is a full-time federal employee, they may request exemption from the required admission fee. www.FormsWorkflow.com
