Vt. Sup. Ct. Admin. Order 41 § 16

(a) An attorney who is not a member of the Bar of the Vermont Supreme Court, but who is

admitted to practice law in another state or the District of Columbia (hereinafter called a

“nonresident attorney”), and who is not currently suspended or disbarred in any state or the

District of Columbia, must file a pro hac vice licensing statement and pay the required fee in

accordance with this administrative order prior to filing a motion to be admitted in a particular

case pursuant to V.R.C.P. 79.1(e), V.R.Cr.P. 44.2(b), V.R.F.P. 15(e), V.R.P.P. 79.1(d), or V.R.A.P.

and submit to the State Court Administrator an application on a pro hac vice licensing

statement form prescribed by the State Court Administrator. The applicant must attach to the

licensing statement a Certificate of Good Standing from a state in which the applicant is

admitted. The applicant must complete a separate licensing statement for each case in which

the applicant wants to be admitted. The nonresident attorney must pay the fee set in the fee

schedule approved by the State Court Administrator; however, the licensing fee may be waived

to permit pro bono representation of an indigent client or clients, at the discretion of the State

Court Administrator.

along with a motion by a member of the Vermont Bar pursuant to V.R.C.P. 79.1(e), V.R.Cr.P.

pursuant to one of the preceding listed rules.
