Definition of notice of appearance

A notice of appearance is a written or oral announcement made by a party or their attorney to the court and other parties involved in a case, indicating their intention to participate in the proceedings.

  • An attorney files a notice of appearance on behalf of their client, indicating that they will be representing them in the case.
  • A creditor's attorney files a notice of appearance in a bankruptcy case, indicating that they want to receive all pleadings related to the case.

These examples illustrate how a notice of appearance is used to inform the court and other parties that a party or their attorney will be participating in the case. It is an important procedural step that ensures all parties are aware of who is involved in the case and who is representing them.

The law is a jealous mistress, and requires a long and constant courtship.
