Supreme Court Rule 4 (9).
Pro Hac Vice Appearance
A non-resident attorney who is not an active member in good standing with the State Bar of Georgia but who is a member in good standing of the bar of the highest court of any state, territory of the United States, or the District of Columbia, and who seeks to appear in this Court pro hac vice in a single case, must first file an application for admission pro hac vice with the State Bar of Georgia at https://www.gabar.org/general-counsel/pro-hac-vice/pro-hac-vice-application
If the application to the State Bar has not been approved before the first filing on which the non-resident attorney intends to appear, the attorney must still file an application for pro hac vice admission in this Court contemporaneously with the first filing. All applications filed in this Court must meet the following requirements:
(a) Application Contents: The application, which shall be served on all parties, shall contain the following information:
(i) A current certificate of good standing from the highest court of each jurisdiction in which the applicant is admitted to practice law, issued no more than 30 days before the application filing date.
(ii) The applicant’s business address, e-mail address, and telephone number;
(iii) The name of the party or parties the applicant seeks to represent;
(iv) A statement whether the applicant (i) has ever been denied admission pro hac vice, (ii) had such admission revoked , or (iii) has otherwise been formally disciplined or sanctioned by any court, and if so, the nature and status of the matter;
(v) The number of times the applicant has been admitted pro hac vice to any Georgia court during the calendar year, with the case caption, case number, and jurisdiction for each case; and
(vi) Whether any formal written disciplinary proceeding has ever been brought against the applicant by a disciplinary authority in any jurisdiction. If so, provide a description of the nature and status of the disciplinary proceeding.
(b) Proof of Submission to State Bar: Each time an application for admission pro hac vice is filed in this Court, the applicant must attach an affidavit stating, “I submitted the pro hac vice application and fee submission to the State Bar of Georgia on (date of submission).” The affidavit must include as an exhibit a copy of the State Bar’s acknowledgment of submission and payment. If the acknowledgment has not been received, the applicant may instead submit proof of successful electronic submission of the application and payment to the State Bar (e.g., a screenshot or a confirmation email.). The applicant must supplement the application with the State Bar’s acknowledgment within one business day of receipt.
(c) Fee Waiver: Attorneys seeking to represent an indigent party may qualify for a waiver of the application fee if they file with the application a statement that their representation is pro bono due to the client’s indigence. Proof of the fee waiver must be included with the application.
(d) Obligations Owed by Counsel: A lawyer admitted pro hac vice has the continuing obligation during the period of admission to promptly notify the Court of a disposition made of pending charges or the institution of a new disciplinary proceeding or sanction.
(i) Upon the grant of the application, the applicant submits to the authority of the Court and the jurisdiction of the State Bar of Georgia for all conduct relating in any way to the proceeding in which the applicant seeks to appear. An attorney admitted pro hac vice may be disciplined in the same manner as a member of the bar of this Court.
(ii) Local Counsel: The application must be made by a member of the bar of this Court on behalf of the non-resident attorney, who will serve as local counsel of record and actively participate in the case.
(e) Electronic Registration: Attorneys admitted pro hac vice will be granted access to the Court’s e-filing system. Attorneys are required to register and to comply with all applicable rules and requirements.
