Explanatory Comment

 In 2007, the Supreme Court promulgated Rule 1012.1 governing motions for admission pro hac vice. In conjunction with this, the Supreme Court also amended Pa.B.A.R. 301 and promulgated new IOLTA regulations, both of which also govern admission pro hac vice. Pa.B.A.R. 301 requires that the motion for admission pro hac vice aver that the fee required by the IOLTA regulations has been paid, or include as an attachment a copy of a fee payment certification from the IOLTA Board, unless payment of the fee is not required pursuant to Section 81.505(c) of the IOLTA regulations, and the information required by Section 81.504 of the IOLTA regulations has been provided to the IOLTA Board. The requirements of Pa.B.A.R. 301 and the IOLTA regulations have been incorporated into Rule 1012.1 to aid the practitioner in satisfying the requirements for admission pro hac vice in civil cases.
