pro hac vice
Latin for "for this occasion" or "for this event," (literally, "for this turn") is a legal term that refers to a lawyer who has not been admitted to practice in a certain jurisdiction, but is being allowed to participate in a certain case in that jurisdiction.
The right to appear pro hac vice is not guaranteed. The attorney who wants to practice in a jurisdiction in which he is not licensed must specifically request permission from the court to be able to appear as an attorney of record. A Motion to Appear Pro Hac Vice needs to be filed, where another attorney who is licensed in the jurisdiction requests that the non-licensed attorney be admitted to practice in a specific case.
In addition to the motion, the non-licensed attorney is typically required to provide the court with a statement from his local bar association indicating that he is a member in good standing and to pay a small fee to the local bar association.
