UPDATED POST HERE.
The Arizona tribal-state judicial forum has submitted a proposed rule change to allow out of state ICWA practitioners to enter into cases without having to associate with local counsel or pay a fee. This proposed rule has a few more requirements than other similar state rules or proposals.
For example, can an Arizona practitioner tell us what this is or looks like in practice:
“(j) Completion of Course on Arizona Law. Before being admitted to the practice of law in Arizona, Arizona uniform bar examination applicants, applicants for admission by transfer of uniform bar examination score, and applicants for admission upon motion must complete a course on Arizona law, the content and delivery of which shall be approved by the Supreme Court.”
The proposed rule (Rule 38 (2)(C)(iv)) requires the completion of this course before being able to use the pro hac vice exception in an ICWA case. The standard pro hac vice admission rule does not include this requirement (Rule 39), but it is required of those looking to be admitted to the state bar (Rule 34). It would be useful to know if this course is something like a formal semester long class (and therefore renders the rule change less useful for the immediacy of an ICWA/child dependency preceding), or is an afternoon course available online, for example.
Comments must be made by May 21, and you must register with the Arizona courts to submit them online. The proposed rule change page here. Updates on this and other state pro hac vice rules are here. If we receive any information on what the required course entails, we will do another post.

If I remember correctly, the course took about one day. It was basically like doing an online defensive driving course where there are imbedded questions that are generally really easy to find the answers to in the materials.
I also received an email saying “It’s entirely online, and the video materials amount to 4-6 hours I think. There are quizzes as well, but they’re very short.”
