Admission Pro Hac Vice, New Uniform Rule of Superior Court 4.4

Out-of-state attorneys seeking admission pro hac vice to appear in Superior and State Courts of Georgia should review Uniform Rule of Superior Court 4.4 and its appendix.

This rule, amended in November 2005, requires pro hac applicants to send a copy of their motion to appear to the Office of the General Counsel of the State Bar of Georgia.  (There is no prescribed form for the motion/application.) In most circumstances, a per case fee of $200 is required.  (The $200 fee can be paid by check or money order, made payable to the State Bar of Georgia).  Applicants should file their notarized original motion with the court in which they seek to appear, and send a copy of the application to the Office of the General Counsel at:

Office of the General Counsel
