Rule: 1.2

Jurisdiction: EDNY

Bluebook Citation: E.D.N.Y. L. Crim. R. 1.2

PRE-2024 COMMITTEE NOTE

This rule, derived from former Local Criminal Rule 44.1, has been renumbered to place

it in closer proximity to the cross-references in Local Criminal Rule 1.1 to admission to

the bar and withdrawal from a case. Former Local Criminal Rule 44.1(b) has been

stricken. That rule required attorneys to submit a certificate of good standing from at

that criminal defendants are in fact represented by admitted attorneys. However, the

rule only required an attorney to submit such a certificate once and thus does not

Joint Local Rules, S.D.N.Y. and E.D.N.Y. Effective January 2, 2026

appear to serve a substantially different function from the provisions of Local Civil Rule

1.3 on admission to the bar. In addition, former Local Criminal Rule 44.1(b) did not

appear to be enforced in practice.
