Local Rule LR3-103. Court appointments and application for fees.

A. Appointments. Each eligible attorney who practices in the Third Judicial District must accept court appointments. The only attorneys exempt from such appointments are those in the following categories: (1) attorneys who are employees of any governmental agency that restricts the attorneys from the private practice of law; and (2) attorneys who are in-house counsel for a business entity that restricts the attorneys from the private practice of law. B. Application for fees. If the attorney applies for fees in an assigned matter, the application must include a justification for payment in the form as the court may require. The application for payment must have attached a copy of the order of appointment, the affidavit of indigency, where required, and an itemized statement of services provided. Applications that do not comply with this rule will be rejected.
