E.D.N.Y. Local Criminal Rule 1.2
Notice of Appearance
Attorneys representing defendants in criminal cases must file a notice of appearance.
Once a notice of appearance has been filed, the attorney cannot withdraw except upon
prior order of the court under Local Civil Rule 1.4.
For relevant historical context for this local rule, consult the Appendix of Committee Notes.
History
PRE-2024 COMMITTEE NOTE This rule, derived from former Local Criminal Rule 44.1, has been renumbered to place it in closer proximity to the cross-references in Local Criminal Rule 1.1 to admission to the bar and withdrawal from a case. Former Local Criminal Rule 44.1(b) has been stricken. That rule required attorneys to submit a certificate of good standing from at least one of the states in which the attorney was admitted and was intended to ensure that criminal defendants are in fact represented by admitted attorneys. However, the rule only required an attorney to submit such a certificate once and thus does not appear to serve a substantially different function from the provisions of Local Civil Rule 1.3 on admission to the bar. In addition, former Local Criminal Rule 44.1(b) did not appear to be enforced in practice.
