How do I get admitted to practice in the bankruptcy court or apply to appear in a case pro hac vice?

Admission to Practice 

The court does not have its own bar. To practice in the bankruptcy court you need to be admitted to the federal bar of the United States District Court for the District of Oregon. See the Oregon district court's website for admission information, or contact the United States District Court at 503-326-8061 or 503-326-8021 for forms and requirements.

Special Admission for a Particular Case or Adversary Proceeding 

An attorney who neither resides nor maintains an office in the District of Oregon can request to participate in a case on a pro hac vice basis by submitting an application with the bankruptcy court on a fully completed Local Bankruptcy Form LBF 120. There is no admission fee charged for filing this application in the Oregon Bankruptcy Court.

See Local Bankruptcy Rule 9010-1 for more information on attorney admissions.
