Rule 3-1. Appearance for Plaintiff on Writ or Complaint in Civil and Family Cases

When a writ has been signed by an attorney at law admitted to practice in the courts of this state, such writ shall contain the attorney's name, juris number, mailing address, telephone number, and email address, all of which shall be typed or printed on the writ, and the attorney's appearance shall be entered for the plaintiff, unless such attorney by endorsement on the writ shall otherwise direct, or unless such attorney shall type or print on the writ the name, address, juris number, telephone number, and email address of the professional corporation or firm, of which such attorney shall be a member, entering its appearance for the plaintiff. The signature on the complaint of any person proceeding without the assistance of counsel pursuant to Section 8-1 shall be deemed to constitute the self-represented appearance of such party, who shall be required to type or print on the writ the party's name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address.
