N.Y. Comp. Codes R. & Regs. Tit. 22 r. 202.70.1 - Appearance by Counsel with Knowledge and Authority
(a) Counsel who appear in the
Commercial Division must be fully familiar with the case in regard to which
they appear and fully authorized to enter into agreements, both substantive and
procedural, on behalf of their clients. Counsel should also be prepared to
discuss any motions that have been submitted and are outstanding. Failure to
comply with this rule may be regarded as a default and dealt with
appropriately. See Rule 12 of this subdivision.
(b) Consistent with the requirements of Rule
11-c, counsel for all parties who appear at the preliminary conference shall be
sufficiently versed in matters relating to their clients' technological systems
to discuss competently all issues relating to electronic discovery. Counsel may
bring a client representative or outside expert to assist in such
discussions.
(c) It
is important that counsel be on time for all scheduled appearances.
(d) Counsel may request the court's
permission to participate in court conferences and oral arguments of motions
from remote locations through use of videoconferencing or other technologies.
Such requests will be granted in the court's discretion for good cause shown;
however, nothing contained in this subsection (d) is intended to limit any
rights which counsel may otherwise have to participate in court proceedings by
appearing in person.
