Lawyer request change by defendant or plaintiff in court.

AI Thread Summary
Changing legal representation after court proceedings is generally permissible in both civil and criminal cases, provided there are valid reasons such as personal emergencies or the lawyer's illness. The process typically requires the approval of the judge overseeing the case. However, the specifics can vary by jurisdiction, and it's essential to consult local laws for precise rules. The discussion emphasizes that the forum is not a legal advice platform and encourages seeking guidance from appropriate legal resources, such as Law Stack Exchange, for more reliable information.

According to the law, can a defendant or Plaintiff change his/her lawyer after certain court proceedings in both civil/criminal cases.

Example.

A Court is adjourned and given a certain date for next proceeding.

Now the Plaintiff or Defendant would like to change his/her lawyer giving reasonable reasons for the same.
Reasons could be : Personal emergency call for the Lawyer, Lawyer falling sick/unwell etc

Is this allowed in the judiciary? If yes, what are the rules? Who gives the permission grant to either the defendant or plaintiff to change the lawyer? Is it the Judge?

Um... You do know this is Physics Forums, right?

Not many of us have gone to law school. You're not likely to get legal advice here, and if you do, you probably shouldn't trust it.

BTW, we don't all live in the same state or country, and we don't know what your jurisdiction is anyway.

I see you have already asked your question in Law Stack Exchange: https://law.stackexchange.com/q/77358/35481

In addition, as @DaveE, we are Physics Forums, not legal forums.

If you want your question in Stack Exchange to gain more audience, please add their country-specific tags to the question.

Also, that generic image of a court is not very helpful. Avoid posting anything (anywhere) that does not add any value to what you are writing; it is simply distraction.

I close the thread. There is no more value we could add.

Just ONCE, I wanted to see a post titled Status Update that was not a blatant, annoying spam post by a new member. So here it is. Today was a good day here in Northern Wisconsin. Fall colors are here, no mosquitos, no deer flies, and mild temperature, so my morning run was unusually nice. Only two meetings today, and both went well. The deer that was road killed just down the road two weeks ago is now fully decomposed, so no more smell. Somebody has a spike buck skull for their...
