Prior to being granted permission to appear pro hac vice, the attorney shall have applied for registration with the Supreme Court Office of Attorney Services, paid the annual registration fee and been issued a certificate of pro hac vice registration. A motion for admission pro hac vice shall briefly and succinctly state the qualifications of the attorney seeking admission and comply with the requirements of Gov.Bar R. XII. It shall be filed with the first pleading or brief in which the attorney seeks to participate or at least thirty (30) days before oral argument if the attorney seeks only to participate in oral argument. The court may withdraw admission to participate pro hac vice at any time.
