RCNY § 1-12
(a)An attorney who has filed a notice of appearance must not withdraw from representation without the permission of the administrative law judge, on application. Withdrawals will not be granted unless upon consent of the client or when other cause exists as delineated in the applicable provisions of the Code of Professional Responsibility.
(b)Notices of substitution of counsel must be served and filed with OATH and the opposing party. A party may substitute counsel without leave of the administrative law judge as long as the substitution is made more than twenty days before trial. Applications for later substitutions of counsel will be granted freely absent prejudice or substantial delay of proceedings. (Amended City Record 7/8/2016, eff. 8/7/2016)
