4.1. Eligibility; Registration Required. (a)

ATTORNEYS. Unless exempted by the court,

each attorney representing a party to a case

maintained in JIMS shall register as a JEFS

User. An attorney is eligible for registration if

the attorney is admitted to practice before

the courts of the State of Hawai'i, is on active

status, and is not suspended, disbarred, or

otherwise prohibited from practicing law in

the State of Hawai'i. An attorney admitted pro

hac vice may not register as a JEFS User

because all filings must be made by the local

counsel with whom the pro hac vice attorney

is associated.
