Order Appointing Private Attorney {CCJP 0646}

CCJP 0646 - ORDER APPOINTING PRIVATE ATTORNEY. This form is used by the Circuit Court of Cook County, Child Protection Division, to appoint a private attorney to represent a party involved in a child protection case. This order is typically issued when the court finds that the party is indigent—meaning they cannot afford legal representation—or when a conflict of interest prevents the Public Defender or the Public Guardian from serving as counsel. The form documents the court's findings, identifies the party to be represented, and designates the attorney’s role, whether as legal counsel or guardian ad litem. It also instructs the judicial secretary to send a bar attorney to the appropriate courtroom and notes that the appointment becomes effective upon entry of the order and the filing of the attorney's appearance. www.FormsWorkflow.com
