A Notice of Appearance form and instructions for substitute, additional or amicus counsel is typically a document used in legal proceedings to inform the court of the representation of a party or parties by an additional attorney or counsel. This form is used in a variety of circumstances, including when a party wishes to have additional legal representation, or when a party needs to be represented by a substitute attorney due to the unavailability of the original counsel. It is also used when an amicus curiae (“friend of the court”) wishes to provide assistance to the court. There are several types of Notice of Appearance forms and instructions for substitute, additional or amicus counsel. These include: 1. Notice of Appearance of Substitute Counsel: This form is used to inform the court that one attorney is being replaced by another attorney. 2. Notice of Appearance of Additional Counsel: This form is used to inform the court that a second attorney is being added to a case. 3. Notice of Appearance of Amicus Curiae: This form is used to inform the court that a third party, usually a legal expert or an organization, wishes to provide assistance to the court in a case.
