Q: I am looking to hire an attorney to help me with admission to Maryland Federal Court. I am admitted in NY Fed Court.
A:
If you mean pro hac vice, that is simple enough. Regular admission requires some work by the sponsor if they don't know you:
Each applicant to the bar must be sponsored by an active member of this Court’s bar. The sponsor must know the applicant for at least one year. See Local Rule 701.2.a.
If a sponsor has not known the applicant for at least one year, the applicant must also include (1) the applicant’s resume and (2) the contact information for two references who are attorneys but not necessarily members of this Court’s bar. The sponsor must confirm with the two references that the applicant possess the appropriate knowledge, skills, and abilities as an attorney to satisfy the requirements of membership in this Court’s bar
