Supreme Court of New Jersey.

Decided May 7, 2003.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Douglas K. Wolfson, Assistant Attorney General and Rhonda S. Farber, Deputy Attorney General, argued the cause for appellant (David Samson, Attorney General of New Jersey, attorney; Andrea M. Silkowitz, Assistant Attorney General, of counsel; Ms. Farber, on the briefs).

Irvin M. Freilich argued the cause for respondent (Robertson, Freilich, Bruno & Cohen, attorneys; Mr. Freilich, Gary N. Donner and Jennifer A. Leighton, on the briefs).


The opinion of the Court was delivered by ZAZZALI, J.

In this appeal we must decide whether a licensed New Jersey attorney who is ineligible to practice law in this state nonetheless may rely on his good standing in another jurisdiction to appear pro hac vice. We hold that a licensed New Jersey attorney must be a member in good standing of the New Jersey Bar before he or she may appear pro hac vice.
