Rule 83.2 Attorneys: Appearances and Withdrawals
(a) Appearances An attorney's signature on any filing constitutes an appearance for the filing party or parties as to all issues and proceedings. An attorney's initial appearance must be signed by the attorney and must include the attorney's individual name, postal address, phone number, and email address.
(b) Limited Appearances
(1) By Motion. To the extent permitted by Maine Rule of Professional Conduct 1.2, an attorney may enter a limited appearance on behalf of an otherwise unrepresented litigant in a non-criminal case at the discretion of the Court on motion filed by the attorney. The motion must state precisely the scope of the limited appearance.
(2) Termination of Limited Appearance. Any limited appearance by an attorney under this rule will automatically terminate on completion of the specified scope of the appearance provided the attorney files and serves on all parties or their counsel a "Notice of Completion of Limited Appearance."
(c) Withdrawals No attorney may withdraw an appearance, or withdraw a limited appearance before the completion of the specified scope of the limited appearance, without leave of Court.
