What is a Memo of Appearance?

A Memo of Appearance is a short formal filing informing the court that an advocate is appearing for a named party in a case. It's typically filed alongside or shortly after the Vakalatnama.

Who needs this?

  • Advocates appearing in a matter for the first time
  • Litigants formally putting their representation on record

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this the same as a Vakalatnama?

No — the Vakalatnama is the authorization from the client; the Memo of Appearance is the advocate's notice to the court that they are appearing.

When should it be filed?

Usually at or before the first hearing the advocate appears at, though practice varies by court.
