The justice or judge of the Superior, Family, or District Court who entered the judgment, order, decree, or other determination from which review is being sought, or in case of his or her absence or disability, any justice or judge of the same court, may make such orders for injunction, giving bond, and the appointment of receivers, and such other orders as are needed for the protection of the rights of the parties until the appeal or petition for review shall be heard and determined by the Supreme Court, subject to modification or annulment by order of the Supreme Court upon motion.(b)Appointment of an Attorney. In cases requiring the appointment of an attorney for appeal to the Supreme Court, the Superior, Family, or District Court may appoint an attorney solely for the purpose of perfecting the appeal, and insuring that all necessary requests for extensions are filed pursuant to Rule 11(c). When the Superior, Family, or District Court makes an appointment for purposes of appeal, the appointment shall be from the panel of attorneys available for appointment in this category in the Supreme Court. All Superior, Family, and District court appointments of counsel for appeal shall terminate upon the docketing of the appeal in the Supreme Court.

If the attorney appointed by the Superior, Family, or District Court does not wish to represent the defendant after the appeal is docketed, the attorney shall notify the defendant and file a motion with the Supreme Court requesting appointment of another attorney.Amended effective 6/19/2020; Revised 10/1/2023.
