Attorneys may seek Special Admission also known as Pro Hac Vice or General Admission.  The Petition for Admission form is available on this website under forms.  Attorneys seeking General Admission must be a member of the Pennsylvania State Bar and their sponsor must be admitted to practice in the Middle District of Pennsylvania.

General Admission requires the attorney and their sponsor to appear before a district judge to take an oath.  Upon completion of their oath the attorney must file the proper Petition for Admission and filing fee of $224.00 with the Clerk’s office.

Special admission is sought for one case only and is electronically filed on the case for which the counsel is seeking admission and decided by the judge assigned to that case. Payment of the $50.00 Special Admission fee will be through Pay.Gov.
