Ohio Multijurisdictional Practice (MJP)

Ohio Rules of Professional Conduct and Rule 8.5 address unauthorized and multijurisdictional practice. See the MJP hub for general background.

Ohio Rule 5.5 generally tracks ABA Model Rule 5.5. Continuous employer practice requires Gov’t of the Bar Rule VI registration.

Temporary practice

Temporary services under Rule 5.5(c) may be permitted when requirements are met. Court appearances remain subject to pro hac vice.
