Entry of Appearance |
|
|
|
|
|
Counsel appearing on probate cases are electronically associated to their
respective cases in order to receive electronic notifications from the JIMS
system and other notices and have access to the case records. |
|
|
|
|
|
For appointed counsel, the responsibility to the court and client for the case
appointment ends when the matter for which counsel was appointed has reached
final disposition, unless a notice of appeal must be filed. For purposes of
determining when the appointment ends, “final disposition” shall mean the time
when the letters of guardianship/conservatorship are issued. At disposition, the
court will remove the attorney’s name from electronic association on the case,
unless that attorney specifically requests to remain associated on the case.
Notices of appeal, if required, must be filed notwithstanding the withdrawal of
appointed counsel from the case. |
|
|
|
|
|
For retained counsel who have entered an appearance on a case, compliance with
Supreme Court Rule 117 and Local Rule 7 must be completed before they are
withdrawn from a client’s case or relieved of their responsibility to the court.
Notice of withdrawal may be oral in open court at the time of the final
disposition of the matter, if written notice is waived by the client and
opposing counsel. |
