Local Counsel’s Role in Federal Court Cases

If you are an out-of-state lawyer involved in a federal court case in Florida, you will require local counsel’s assistance to appear in the case pro hac vice. This is because the rules of federal court require that co-counsel admitted to practice in the district submit the pro hac vice motion. This is due to the fact that the motion must designate a member of the court’s bar to perform the following tasks:

File through the court’s electronic filing system

Maintain responsibility for electronically filing and serving through the CM/ECF

All these tasks can be performed by our local counsel as long as he is designated by name and contact information in the motion to appear pro hac vice.
