Motions to appear pro hac vice are governed by See LR 83.2 and LCrR 57.2.  When seeking to appear pro hac vice, the following must be submitted to the Court:

1. Motion for Admission Pro Hac Vice (Hand Signed)
2. Pro Hac fee of $150.00

Such motions may be filed in one of two ways:

• By paper.  By mailing or delivering the required documents and payment to the Clerk, or

• Electronically.  By either the movant, provided he or she was previously admitted on a pro hac basis in another case, or by another attorney on the movant’s behalf, provided that attorney is admitted and associated with the case at issue.
