E.D. Okla. LCvR 83.3

(a) Responsibilities of Non-Resident Counsel. When representing a party in this Court,

any attorney who is not a member of the Oklahoma bar shall show association with an

attorney who is personally appearing in the action and who is a member of the Oklahoma

bar, and who has been duly and regularly admitted to practice in this Court.

(b) Responsibilities of Local Counsel. It is the responsibility of local counsel appearing in

any civil case to file the motion of the attorney to be admitted pro hac vice and to certify

in the motion that the attorney is a member in good standing of the bar of the highest

court of the state where the attorney resides or is licensed. The local attorney shall sign

the first pleading filed and shall continue in the case unless other local counsel is

substituted. Any notice, pleading or other paper may be served upon the local counsel

with the same effect as if personally served on the non-resident attorney.

(c) Relief from this Rule. Relief from this rule is within the Court’s discretion upon

motion establishing financial hardship, special qualifications of counsel, or other good

cause, provided that out-of-state counsel certifies familiarity with the local civil court

rules.
