Rule 31.2 Enrollment and Withdrawal of Counsel

If you're working with a lawyer in a Louisiana district court, there are specific steps that must be followed when a lawyer officially joins your case or steps away from it. These steps aren't listed in this particular rule. Instead, you need to check Appendix 31.2, which spells out the exact process for each court.

Since the details can differ from one district court to another, it's a good idea to look up the specific appendix for the court handling your case. This will tell you what paperwork is needed and what steps a lawyer must take to formally enter a case or be released from representing you.
