Rule 1.7 - Entry and Withdrawal of Counsel
(a)Appearance. Any counsel appearing before the court or the Register shall enter a written appearance by any one of the following means:
(1) filing an entry of appearance with the clerk or the Register;
(2) signing a legal paper that is filed with the clerk or the Register; or
(3) as prescribed by local rule, which may include submitting an appearance slip to the court, entering counsel's information when a legal paper is filed, or signing a cover sheet.
(b)Withdrawal. Counsel who has entered an appearance before the court as provided in subparagraph (a) shall not be permitted to withdraw without filing a petition to withdraw and obtaining the court's leave, unless co-counsel, if any, will continue representing the party or there is a simultaneous entry of appearance by other counsel that will not delay the litigation.

Note: Rule 1.7 has no counterpart in former Orphans' Court Rules, but is based upon many local rules of similar import.
