Ind. Courts - Do ALJs lack the authority to grant pro hac vice appearances for out of state attorneys appearing before their agencies?
I received this note from a reader last Friday and sent an inquiry to the Court, but still haven't heard back. Anyone?
I was just told that the Indiana Supreme Court sent a letter to all Administrative Law Judges advising them that they lack the authority to grant pro hac vice appearances for out of state attorneys appearing before their agencies. I know that the IURC routinely grants pro hac vice appearances (and the Supreme Court has accepted the follow up filings and fee payments) in the past. According to what I was told, the Supreme Court is now taking the position that an actual court (presumably a local circuit court) must approve pro hac vice petitions for lawyers to appear before administrative agencies.
