Pro hac vice

Pro hac vice is Latin "for this occasion" or "for this event" (literally, "for this turn").

The origins of the doctrine of admission pro hac vice have been traced as far back as 1629 in the English Court of Common Pleas.

[3] In addition to the motion, the out-of-jurisdiction attorney is typically required to provide the court with a statement from their local bar association indicating that he or she is a member in good standing and also pay a small fee to the court or its local bar association.

[9] The expression is also used in the Catholic Church when a titular diocese becomes the title of an archbishop rather than of a bishop.

This deaconry is then said to be elevated pro hac vice to the rank of a titular church.
