Attorney Appearance Form

ATTORNEY APPEARANCE FORM. This form is used in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois by attorneys to formally notify the court and all parties in a case that they are representing a specific party in the litigation. This form includes essential identifying information about the attorney, such as their name, firm, address, bar identification number, telephone number, and email address. It also requires the attorney to indicate whether they are serving as lead counsel, whether they are members of the court’s general or trial bar, and whether they are appearing pro hac vice (for attorneys not admitted to practice in that court but seeking special permission to appear in a specific case). In criminal cases, the form requires the attorney to specify if they are retained, appointed, or affiliated with the Federal Defender’s Office or the CJA Panel. By signing the form, the attorney affirms under penalty of perjury that the information provided is true and acknowledges their eligibility to practice before the court in compliance with its local rules. www.FormsWorkflow.com
