Absolutely not. You may hire any attorney you wish, so long as they are licensed to practice before the specific court in question. If you are referring to the US Supreme Court, then the attorney needs to be licensed to practice before the US Supreme Court, as well as in a federal court within the circuit they may need to file. I'm not certain, but that attorney may also need to be licensed to practice within the state in which the federal circuit lies. If you are referring to your State Supreme Court, then that attorney needs to be licensed to practice in that particular state.
