Rule 4-2 Entry of Appearance and Pleadings
Article 4. Attorney Appearance, Withdrawal, and Duties
Rule Text
(a) An attorney shall not appear before the Court until such attorney has entered an appearance by filing a signed entry of appearance form or by filing a signed pleading in a pending action. The entry of appearance form or pleading shall state —
(1) the style and number of the case;
(2) the identity of the party for whom the appearance is made; and
(3) the name, assigned State Bar number, current office address, telephone number, and e-mail address of the attorney (the attorney's e-mail address shall be the same e-mail address registered with the State Bar of Georgia).
(b) The filing of a pleading shall contain the information required in section (a) of this rule and shall constitute an appearance by each person signing the pleading, unless otherwise specified by the Court. The filing of a signed entry of appearance form alone shall not be a substitute for the filing of an answer or any other required pleading.
(c) Any attorney who has been admitted to practice in this State but fails to maintain active membership in good standing with the State Bar of Georgia and makes or files any appearance or pleading in the Court while not in good standing shall be subject to the contempt powers of the Court.
