Pro Hac Vice Registration Fee: As of September 4, 2012, SJC Rule 3:15 requires that prior to filing a motion to have out-of-state counsel admitted pro hac vice in the Supreme Judicial Court, out-of-state counsel must pay a non-refundable pro hac vice registration fee of $301 per case to the Board of Bar Overseers (Board), except when counsel is providing pro bono publico legal assistance to an indigent client. In the latter situation, the pro hac vice fee is waived. For information as to the Board's procedures for payment of the fee and FAQs, see the Board's website.
