The PHV Application Process Is Paperless (and Painless!)
LML
The Alabama State Bar’s Pro Hac Vice (PHV) filing process has gone from paper to online. Instead of sending a check and hard copy of the Verified Application for Admission to Practice Pro Hac Vice to the ASB, an out-of-state attorney can now request that his or her local counsel file their PHV application through AlaFile, including electronic payment of the $300 application fee. Once local counsel has filed this motion, it will go electronically to the PHV clerk’s office at the Alabama State Bar for review. • If all of the information on the application is correct, the motion will be docketed and sent electronically to the judge assigned to the case for ruling. • If the information in the application is incorrect or incomplete, a deficiency notice will be e-mailed to the filer (local counsel). A corrected application may be resubmitted by local counsel via AlaFile. The PHV clerk will then review the corrected application and, once accepted, the motion will be docketed and sent electronically to the judge assigned to the case for ruling. Please refer to the “Step-by-Step Process” to file the PHV application in the correct location in the Alafile system. (It should no longer be filed under “Motions Not Requiring Fee”). Contact IT Support at 1-866-954-9411, option 1 and then option 4, or applicationsupport@alacourt.gov with questions or comments.
