Subject to the rules for appearances by law students in LR 83, limited appearances by law
students, if the person on whose behalf he or she is appearing has consented to that appearance in
writing and the supervising lawyer has also approved the appearance in writing, are allowed in
any criminal matter on behalf of an indigent defendant.
An eligible law student may also appear in any criminal matter on behalf of the United
States with the written approval of both the prosecuting attorney or his or her authorized
representative and the supervising lawyer. Insofar as practicable, the legal services of law
students in criminal practice shall be divided equally between prosecution and defense.
