the representation by an attorney of a person in court for a) only that particular
session of the court; b) on behalf of the client's regular attorney of record; c)
as a favor for an unrepresented person; or d) pending a decision as to whether the
attorney agrees to handle the person's case. A special appearance is different from
a "general appearance" in which the attorney is committed to represent the client
in all future matters, hearings and trial of the case unless he/she is allowed to
withdraw or is substituted "out of" the case by the client. Quite often an attorney
will make a "special appearance" to protect the interests of a potential client
but before a fee has been paid or arranged.
