A lawyer not licensed to practice law in Tennessee, who is licensed in another
United States jurisdiction, and who resides outside Tennessee shall be permitted* to appear pro hac vice, file pleadings, motions, briefs, and other
papers and to fully participate in a particular proceeding before a trial or
appellate court of Tennessee if the lawyer complies with certain conditions.
The terms and conditions for Pro Hac Vice attorneys are defined in Rule 19 of the Supreme Court of Tennessee.
Pro hac vice attorneys are required to file a copy of the motion and supporting
papers with the Board of Professional Responsibility prior to filing with
the court. Additionally, pro hac vice attorneys are required to pay to the
Board a fee equal to the fee required of Tennessee lawyers, currently $135.00,
per calendar year. For a complete and unabridged description of the rules and
requirements for pro hac vice attorneys, please refer to Rule 19 of the Supreme Court of Tennessee.
Additional information may be found in the
Pro Hac Vice Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) page.
A sample affidavit is provided in Microsoft Word (.doc),
Corel WordPerfect (.wpd), and
Adobe Acrobat (.pdf) formats.
For further assistance, please
