Pleadings and other documents filed in a case where an attorney who is not admitted to the bar of this court appears pursuant to Local Civil Rule 83.I.05 shall contain the individual name, firm name, address, and phone number of both the attorney making a special appearance under that rule and of the associated local counsel.

Unless excused by the court, the associated local counsel shall be present at all pretrial conferences, hearings, and trials and may, but is not required, to attend discovery proceedings or other proceedings that are not before the court.
