21. Attorneys

21.2 Entries of Appearance

A. The attorney of record shall be the attorney who signs the pleading or information. Any other attorney shall file a written entry of appearance or oral entry of appearance in open court, in order to be considered the attorney of record.

B. Unless defendant is represented by counsel present in court, no written entry of appearance will be accepted in lieu of service of summons unless the same shows that defendant has received a copy of the petition, that it has been executed after the suit has been filed, and has been acknowledged in the same manner as deeds of conveyance are required by law to be executed.
