A New York Order Granting Admission To Practice Pro HAC Vice is a court order allowing an out-of-state lawyer to represent a client in a single case in New York without being admitted to the New York Bar. There are two types of New York Orders Granting Admission To Practice Pro HAC Vice: 1) Motion for Admission Pro HAC Vice (for an individual lawyer) and 2) Application for Admission Pro HAC Vice (for a firm of multiple lawyers). The Motion/Application must be approved by the presiding judge of the court where the case is being heard and will include a fee, an affidavit from the out-of-state lawyer, and a sponsor's affidavit from a current New York lawyer. Once the Order is granted, the out-of-state lawyer can appear in court and take part in all hearings, discovery, and settlement negotiations related to the case.
