Sch. Cnty. Pa. 1012
Every counsel of record in any civil proceeding shall be timely present for each hearing, conference or other court proceeding involving his or her client as scheduled pursuant to the provision of these rules, or as the Court may otherwise direct. It shall further be the duty of counsel to promptly notify the client of the date, time, place and duty to be present at each proceeding involving the client's case until such time as the case has been disposed of by final order or decree. Counsel who fail to comply with this rule may be held in Contempt of Court.
Unless otherwise relieved by Order of Court, counsel of record in any civil proceeding shall be responsible for representing his or her client until the entry of a final order or decree. Thereafter, counsel shall notify his or her client in writing that his or her representation of the client has been concluded and that the client will have to make arrangements to continue representation for any appeal or seek other counsel. Counsel shall certify by praecipe that such notice was given. The praecipe shall be filed within ten (10) days after notice is sent to the client, and a copy of the praecipe shall be served as any other pleading on all other parties. The obligation of counsel shall cease upon the filing and service of said praecipe unless counsel has filed an appeal for the client, thereby obligating counsel to continue representation through the appellate process.
