Latin meaning "for this one particular occasion." The phrase usually refers to an out-of-state lawyer who has been granted special permission to participate in a particular case, even though the lawyer is not licensed to practice in the state where the case is being tried.
I saw Jarod do it, My Cousin Vinny, and The Devil's Advocate.

Lawyers are licenced in specific states. However, as close as AZ and CA are, you may be able to find one that is licensed in both.
Frequently, if your attorney is not licensed in another state, they will assist you in hiring one who is to represent you in AZ, while they work with you in Cali.
The lawyer has to have passed the bar in the state in which the case will be tried. However, a CA lawyer could partner with an AZ attorney, so one is working there with you and the other appears in court in AZ.
Yes but you will have to take the bar exam for that state.
Call the Bar Association for the state you want to practice in for more details.
Unless you want to be a JAG officer than you just join a service branch. You only need to take the bar exam from one state.
You'll need an AZ lawyer but don't worry too much about it until you are served.
There are many attorneys in Cali who are also licensed to practice in AZ.
Make sure that the one you select is a member of both bar associations as pro hace isn't always accepted by every judge.
