I’m admitted in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of GA, and I see why she couldn’t find a local attorney to sponsor her pro hac vice admission. She’s nuts.

I read a few days ago that Jon Gosselin's attorney (the dad from Jon & Kate Plus 8), Mark Heller, has his sponsorship in Pennsylvania revoked by the local attorney who had granted it.

Jon Gosselin's Lawyer -- S.O.L. (TMZ) (^)

How can he (or Orly Taitz) practice in a state without having either a sponsor or passing the bar?

Thank you

In the second sanction order the Judge indicated that he had allowed her to participate (w/o requiring, first, a pro hac vice admission) due to the emergency nature of the filing (I think the plaintiff was then scheduled to depart Warner-Robbins for Iraq or Afghanistan in a matter of hours from the time of the emergency hearing.) Prior to reading that - I assumed pro hac vice (admission on motion after local sponsorship + payment of $150 fee) was the only way it could be done. Methinks that Judge will think twice before granting the next exception.
