Designation of Attorney Presenting Oral Argument is a document that must be filed with the court to identify which attorney will be delivering the oral argument on behalf of a party in a case. This document usually includes the attorney's name, contact information, and the court where the argument will be heard. It is important to file this document in a timely manner with the court, as failing to do so could result in the attorney being barred from presenting their oral argument. There are two main types of Designation of Attorney Presenting Oral Argument: Pro HAC Vice Designation and Local Designation. Pro HAC Vice Designation is for attorneys who are not licensed to practice in the court where the case is being heard. A Pro HAC Vice Designation must be approved by the court before the attorney can present their oral argument. Local Designation is for attorneys who are already licensed to practice in the court where the case is being heard. A Local Designation does not require court approval and can often be filed more quickly than a Pro HAC Vice Designation.
