UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
WESTERN DISTRICT OF KENTUCKY
In Re: ATTORNEY ADMISSION AND GENERAL ORDER
PRO HAC VICE ADMISSION FEES NO. 23-11
***
The Court has reviewed and evaluated the attorney admission-related fees charged in the
Western District of Kentucky, concluding that both an increase in pro hac vice fees and the
imposition of a renewal fee for pro hac vice admissions are merited. Accordingly, and effective
August 1, 2023,
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that, pursuant to LR 83.1 and LCrR 57.1, each applicant
for admission to the Bar of this Court shall pay to the Clerk the admission fee prescribed
by the Judicial Conference of the United States, plus an additional fee of $30.00 that shall be
deposited in the Court's Attorney Admission Fund.
IT IS HEREBY FURTHER ORDERED that, pursuant to LR 83.2 and LCrR 57.2, each
applicant seeking permission to appear pro hac vice in a particular case shall pay the Clerk a fee
of $150.00 per case, the entirely of which shall be deposited in the Court's Attorney Admission
Fund.
IT IS HEREBY FURTHER ORDERED that if an attorney admitted to practice pro hac
vice in a particular case continues to appear in that case, the attorney shall pay a renewal fee of
$150.00 each year until the case is concluded. The renewal fee shall be due on the one-year
anniversary of the attorney's original pro hac vice admission and shall be deposited in the Court's
Attorney Admission Fund. Any subsequent renewal fees shall be due in subsequent years on the
same calendar date. Failure to pay the renewal fee within thirty (30) days of the due date will
result in the attorney being suspended from appearing in any case in which he or she has been
admitted pro hac vice.
This General Order supersedes and vacates General Order 2016-02.
