If already admitted pro hac vice at the trial court level, is registration required in conjunction with pro hac vice admission in a case in the NC Court of Appeals?
Yes. The North Carolina sponsoring attorney must update the registration by filing an Update Form with the North Carolina State Bar within 30 days of a pro hac vice order issued by the North Carolina Court of Appeals. The NC Court of Appeals supervises its own docket and has the authority to determine whether out-of-state counsel will be allowed to appear before it. Therefore, regardless of a prior order of the trial court, the NC Court of Appeals requires out-of-state counsel to apply for admission to practice before it.
