Pro hac vice is a legal term that means "for this event" or ‘for the given occasion’. Under this provision, the lawyer can participate in a case out of his jurisdiction. Ironically, under this provision a lawyer can fight a case in almost every American jurisdiction; however, the civil law is usually stricter laws set up for multi-jurisdictional practice.
Usually, the out-of-state lawyer has to submit the following documents, duly filled, to the state court where the case has to be submitted:
1. Court case number and name
2. Name of the Court where the case will appear
3. Declaration by the Pro Hac Vice attorney duly signed with their name and other credentials
4. The bar licensing status of the lawyer in their licensed region
Along with these documents, the lawyer must upload the hearing related documents as well as the case record for reference purposes.
