Local Rule 2090-1: ATTORNEYS – ADMISSION TO PRACTICE

BANKRUPTCY LOCAL RULE 2090-1 ATTORNEYS – ADMISSION TO PRACTICE

(a) In General. The General Local Rules of practice of the District Court of Guam regarding attorney admission and practice apply in all bankruptcy proceedings.

(b) Parties Appearing Without an Attorney. Any party proceeding without an attorney will be expected to be familiar with and to proceed in accordance with the rules of practice and procedure of this court and with the appropriate federal rules and statutes that govern the action.

(c) Change of Address. An attorney who changes office address must submit a written change of address to the clerk. Completion and submission of this address change will update the attorney's address in the court's electronic database. In those cases where the attorney represents a party other than the debtor, this address change will not update the address on the mailing lists for those cases. In those cases, to update the address on the mailing list and to give notice of the address change to other attorneys and parties, the attorney must file a notice of change of address in each case. In cases where the attorney does represent the debtor, the address is updated in the database, and also updated on the mailing lists for those cases.

If the change of address is because the attorney has changed law firms, in each case in which the attorney has appeared and in which the former firm will continue to represent the debtor or other party, a notice must be filed stating that the attorney no longer represents the party and stating who in the firm now represents that party. For those cases in which the attorney, at the new firm, will continue to represent the debtor or other party, the attorney will remain the attorney of record at the new firm and address.
