Instructions

Pro Hac Vice Information

Out-of-state and foreign lawyers seeking to appear before a Michigan court, administrative tribunal or agency, or arbitration proceeding, must comply with Michigan’s pro hac vice rule. Lawyers seeking temporary admission should review MCR 8.126, MCR 9.108, and Rule 15 of the Rules Concerning the State Bar of Michigan. Every lawyer admitted under the pro hac vice rule is subject to the jurisdiction of Michigan's lawyer discipline system. MCR 8.126 provides that an out-of-state lawyer is permitted to appear and practice in no more than five cases in a 365-day period.

To complete your application, you will need to:

Create an account with your contact information.
Enter the court, administrative tribunal or agency, or arbitration panel information.
Enter the Michigan attorney's information.
Upload a motion prepared and signed by a licensed Michigan attorney seeking your temporary admission.
Upload a certificate of good standing from one jurisdiction where you are licensed and eligible to practice. Rule of thumb, the certificate should be dated within 60 days of the motion for admission.
Upload an affidavit, signed by you, in compliance with MCR 8.126.
Pay the required fee by credit card or echeck.

IMPORTANT NOTES

All documents noted above MUST be uploaded at the time of submission. There is no opportunity to supplement your application; please do not begin the application process until you have compiled all required documents and are prepared to upload them at one time. Your application will not be processed unless all documents are included.

Completing this process does not guarantee temporary admission. Only an order entered by the court, administrative tribunal or agency, or arbitrator allows temporary admission.

Name & Address

Name

Only your correct name may be used on the official register. Your business address and related information are required on the application.

The address you supply is considered your published directory address and will be used for State Bar purposes, including all mailing lists and directory listings unless otherwise requested. When you provide an email address, it will be published in the member directory (unless otherwise noted) and used periodically to communicate with you.

Secondary Address

If your published directory address is a post office box, you must provide a street address of your business or residence. Any member can provide a secondary address to be used for Bar Journal, section mailings, and general correspondence (such as refunds and suspension letters).
