Check the bankruptcy court’s local rules. Most require an application for pro hac vice, some districts will require local counsel. The court may have a form application

This.

You have to check the local rules for that specific bankruptcy court. Each court has a procedure a little different.
Some courts require a local counsel with their business address to apply for your pro hac admission. Others have a simpler procedure.

Technically bankruptcy is federal - not sure if it’s similar to immigration, where you can represent clients in different states? If you just get sworn into federal court, wouldn’t you be covered? Might be dumb question and completely wrong, just sharing my thoughts.

I’m in a fairly large practice group with a decently large pool of associates that are junior to me. I’m being asked to run several matters and to delegate as needed. Any delegation tips? (Dos/Don’ts; ideas on how to choose who to work with, how to help new matter team members get up to speed efficiently; ways to provide feedback when work isn’t up-to-snuff, etc.?) I’m easygoing enough, but I’m also struggling to find someone who consistently turns in what I’m looking for.

I have about 20 good nursing home cases and am working out the contract. I don’t think I should pay more than 20% overhead with 40% fees on my cases considering Firm gets 100% of owner cases and 60% of mine. Granted, 99% of my cases came from Firm/Boss. I’ve made about $80K so far . Thoughts? Am I asking too much?

Headhunters/Recruiters…
I was contacted out of the blue by a headhunter last week promising to do their best to place me in an AMLAW200 firm as a lateral. (4 years practicing, all litigation; looking to move to transactional).
I’ve never dealt with a headhunter before, and I’m taking everything they say with a grain of salt, so insight as to their effectiveness, reliability, and overall successful placements in or equivalent to the type of firms they have connections with is greatly appreciated.
