This order appoints an attorney, who is a member of the Illinois Bar, to represent a party in a legal matter. Depending on the case, the appointed attorney may provide legal advice, represent the party in court, and/or negotiate settlements. There are two types of Illinois Orders Appointing Bar Attorney: 1) an Order appointing a Bar Attorney in a civil case; and 2) an Order appointing a Bar Attorney in a criminal case. In both types of cases, the appointed attorney must be a member of the Illinois Bar and must comply with the Code of Professional Responsibility.
