摘要：On September 27, 2006, the Iowa Supreme Court adopted
new rules (Rule 31.14) for admission of out-of-state lawyers
pro hac vice. Previously, admission pro hac vice was relatively easy
in Iowa, with little involvement from in-state attorneys.
The new rules have changed this.
First, not every out-of-state attorney is eligible for
admission pro hac vice. Lawyers residing or regularly working in
Iowa will usually be ineligible. Instead, they will need to seek
regular admission to the Iowa bar.
Second, the Iowa lawyer with whom the out-of-state
attorney affiliates must actively participate in the proceedings.
The Iowa attorney must accept service on behalf of the out-ofstate
lawyer and, if his or her judgment differs from the out-ofstate
attorney, independently advise the client on the out-ofstate
attorney¡¯s proposed action.
