Unif. R. Ch. Ct. 102
Appearance and withdrawal of counsel
(a)(1) An attorney appears in a case:
(A) By attending any proceeding as counsel for any party;
(B) By permitting the attorney’s name to appear on any pleadings or
motions, except that an attorney who assisted in the preparation of a
pleading and whose name appears on the pleading as having done so shall
not be deemed to have entered an appearance in the matter; or
(C) By a written appearance. A written entry of appearance may be
limited, by its terms, to a particular proceeding or matter.
(2) Except as otherwise limited by a written entry of appearance, an
appearing attorney shall be considered as representing the party or parties
for whom the attorney appears for all purposes.
(b) All pleadings shall contain the name, mailing address, email address
and telephone number of counsel or, if pro se, the party. All notices filed
conventionally shall be mailed to the address provided. All notices filed
electronically shall be delivered through the electronic filing system to the
registered users on the case. Each party or counsel shall give notice in writing
of any change of email or mailing address to the clerk and other parties.
(c) Counsel will not be permitted to withdraw from a case except upon court
order. Except in the case of extraordinary circumstances, the court shall
condition withdrawal of counsel upon the substitution of other counsel by
written appearance. In the alternative, the court shall allow withdrawal upon
a statement submitted by the client acknowledging the withdrawal of counsel
for the client, and stating a desire to proceed pro se. An attorney who has
entered a limited entry of appearance shall be deemed to have withdrawn
when the attorney has fulfilled the duties of the limited entry of appearance
and has filed a notice of conclusion of the limited entry of appearance.
