California Appearances

Only pay if you get matched.

What to expect

  • Attorneys who can appear in the relevant U.S. District Court
  • Coverage for status conferences, scheduling conferences, and motions
  • Clear confirmation of admission status before acceptance when required

72 hours preferred — federal calendars and admission checks need buffer.
