In California, an attorney is required to file a notice of appearance in court in order to represent a party in a lawsuit. This notice informs the court and all parties involved that the attorney will be representing the party and should be the primary point of contact for all legal matters related to the case.
The Appearance form is required in most civil court cases. For example, you must file an Appearance when: o Someone sues you and you want to participate in the court case. If you do not file an Appearance and go to court as needed, the court case might go ahead without you and the court might rule against you.
Entry of Appearance for Represented Parties Within 14 days after a new case is docketed, counsel must file an Entry of Appearance. For counsel retained after the case is docketed, counsel must file an Entry of Appearance within 14 days after being retained or admitted to the Federal Circuit's bar.
