Our Neighbors and Friends: District Court Seeks Comment on Pro Hac Vice Rules

By Eric L. Lipman

ADVERTISEMENTS
The United States District Court for the District of Minnesota has circulated for public comment proposed changes to Local Rule 83.5. Under the proposed rules, the District Court would jettison the requirement that ?local counsel? be a resident of Minnesota ? presumably making appearances by attorneys who reside in Wisconsin or the Dakotas, but who are licensed to practice law in Minnesota, to serve in this capacity.

Comments on the proposed revisions should be provided in writing to the Clerk of Court, or by e-mail to MnFedRules@mnd.uscourts.gov, on or before September 8, 2008. The rules will be adopted by the full Court following consideration of any comments or suggestions received by the Clerk during the public notice period.

The text of the proposed revisions is accessible here.
