On Jan. 3, 2024, a long list of court documents from a lawsuit connected to the activities of the late financier and convicted sex criminal Jeffrey Epstein was released to the public. When the documents were released, rumors swirled: Familiar names like Jimmy Kimmel, Taylor Swift, Leonardo DiCaprio were supposedly linked to Epstein. Most of the big celebrity names included in the documents were already public knowledge because of previous reports in the media. In almost all U.S. jurisdictions, attorneys who practice pro hac vice must do so with a local lawyer acting as local counsel. In the unsealed documents, we recommend starting with those that have exhibits, as many of the other documents are more about procedural matters rather than the facts of the case.
