                          RULE CRLJ 4.2
                PROCESS – LIMITED REPRESENTATION


  (a)  An attorney may undertake to provide limited representation
     in accordance with RPC 1.2 to a person involved in a court
     proceeding.

  (b)  Providing limited representation of a person under these
     rules shall not constitute an entry of appearance by the attorney
     for purposes of CR 5(b) and does not authorize or require the
     service or delivery of pleadings, papers or other documents upon
     the attorney under CRLJ 5(b).  Representation of the person by
     the attorney at any proceeding before a judge, magistrate, or
     other judicial officer on behalf of the person constitutes an
     entry of appearance pursuant to RCW 4.28.210 and CRLJ 4(a)(3),
     except to the extent that a limited notice of appearance as
     provided for under CRLJ 70.1 is filed and served prior to or
     simultaneous with the actual appearance.  The attorney’s
     violation of this Rule may subject the attorney to the sanctions
     provided in CRLJ 11(a).
