An attorney may be admitted to practice in this Court in
a single case through submission of a Motion for Admission
Pro Hac Vice. Applicants must be sponsored by an attorney
who is admitted to practice before the bar of this Court (not
admitted pro hac vice). Send the papers to the "Admissions
Clerk" in Manhattan
or White Plains depending
on where the judge sits. Those requiring full admission to practice
in all cases should visit Attorney
Admission.
I. Instructions for Admission Pro Hac Vice by Written Motion
- Except as provided in section II, the sponsoring attorney
shall submit a MOTION FOR ADMISSION PRO HAC VICE
on paper in the traditional manner, and not through the Electronic
Case Filing (ECF) system. Include the following:
- A CHECK for $25.00, payable to "Clerk,
USDC, SDNY",
- A MOTION FOR ADMISSION PRO HAC VICE with
the applicant’s full contact information and without a return
date (see
sample motion),
- An AFFIDAVIT from the sponsoring attorney
stating that he or she is in good standing with this Court and
the applicant is of high moral character (see
sample affidavit),
- A CERTIFICATE(S) OF GOOD STANDING for the
applicant from each of the states for which the applicant is
a member of the bar, and which has been issued within 30 days,
- A proposed ORDER FOR ADMISSION PRO HAC VICE (see
sample order), and
- PROOF OF SERVICE of the motion on all parties
in the case.
- If the case is assigned to the Electronic Case Filing (ECF)
system and the order has been signed granting pro hac vice admission, the applicant must apply
for an ECF PASSWORD on-line. Please Enter "XXXXXX" for the bar code.
II. Instructions for Admission Pro Hac Vice by Oral Motion
When time does not permit a written motion, a sponsoring attorney
may move for the admission of a colleague by oral motion for admission
pro hac vice. A proposed ORDER FOR ADMISSION PRO HAC VICE
ON ORAL MOTION must be completed in advance of the appearance
(available from the Attorney Admissions Office or see
sample order).
- Immediately after the Motion for Admission is made in open court and granted, the applicant must:
- submit the proposed Order for Admission to the Clerk in the courtroom, and
- proceed directly to the cashier’s office to pay the $25.00 fee.
- The applicant must then forward a COVER LETTER
with the case number and a CERTIFICATE(S) OF GOOD STANDING
for each of the states for which the applicant is a member of
the bar and which has been issued within 30 days. Failure to include
the case number in the cover letter will delay the addition of
the applicant’s name to the docket.
- If the case is assigned to the Electronic Case Filing (ECF)
system and the order has been signed granting pro hac vice admission, then the applicant must apply
for an ECF PASSWORD on-line. Please enter "XXXXXX" for the bar code.
