As amended through October 11, 2024
Rule 42 - Appearance and Withdrawal of Attorneys; Self-representation
(a) Entry of Appearance. Any filing by an attorney in this court will constitute the entry of an appearance by that attorney as counsel for the party on whose behalf the document is filed. An attorney may also enter an appearance on a form provided by the Clerk. By entering an appearance on behalf of a party, the attorney certifies that he or she is authorized to represent the party.
(b) Withdrawal of Appearance. No attorney may withdraw an appearance without leave of court.
(c) Self-Representation. These rules do not prevent a person who is without counsel from prosecuting or defending an appeal in which that person is a party. Any right to proceed pro se does not include the right to represent other parties to the same proceeding.
