Court Obligations | Scope of Representation
An Illinois lawyer acting as local counsel for an out-of-state lawyer shares the same duties to the client as the lawyer acting as lead counsel. While local counsel and the client may agree to limit the role of local counsel upon informed consent, that lawyer remains subject to the Illinois Rules of Professional Conduct. A lawyer may only enter a general appearance in an Illinois state court criminal matter and is subject to the rules and orders of the court, including any orders requiring local counsel’s appearance at any or all court proceedings.
