Appointed Counsel's Relationship to a
Person Who Declines to be Represented
October 20, 2007

The client-lawyer relationship is a consensual one. Situations arise, however, in which a lawyer is appointed to represent someone who declines the representation.

The lawyer's legal duties -- if any -- are defined in such circumstances by the order of the assigning tribunal, and the lawyer's ethical duties are limited to those obligations a lawyer owes under the Rules to tribunals or to persons other than a client.
