Definition of appearance pro hac vice

Definition: Appearance pro hac vice refers to a lawyer from another state appearing in court for a specific case with the permission of the court.

Example: A lawyer from New York wants to represent a client in a case in California. The lawyer must file a motion for pro hac vice admission and receive permission from the California court to appear in the case.

This example illustrates the definition of appearance pro hac vice, which is when a lawyer from another state is allowed to appear in court for a specific case. This is different from a lawyer who is licensed to practice law in the state where the case is being heard.

Simple Definition

Appearance is when someone goes to court as a party or lawyer for a party. It can be a defendant taking part in a lawsuit or a lawyer representing someone in court. There are different types of appearances, such as a general appearance that waives the ability to dispute the court's authority, or a special appearance that contests the court's jurisdiction over the defendant. A limited appearance is when a defendant shows up in court solely to contest the court's assertion of personal jurisdiction. A voluntary appearance is when someone goes to court on their own will, without being served with legal papers.
