New Mexico government attorneys: New Mexico relies upon Rule 15-301.1 that gives special admission rules for government attorneys licensed in other jurisdictions to be able to practice as New Mexico government attorneys because they do not allow admission on motion in general. Eligible attorneys must take the next New Mexico Bar Exam for which the applicant is eligible. Check out New Mexico Pro Hac Vice Rules for admission on a specific matter.
