What does appearness mean in court terms?

its says lawyer has file appearness at case .net for a court case
Answers:
Does it actually say "appearness?" Because it is a "Notice of Appearance." It means that a lawyer is now on the case. If it is a Civil/Non-Criminal case it means that someone has hired an attorney. (was it you?) If it is a criminal case and you are not the state ;-) then it means a lawyer has been appointed to represent the defense. (It could be a Public Defender). "Appearness" may be a typo on your notice - Good luck.
the word is APPEARANCE and the attorney must file a notice of appearance to represent you in court so that the court knows he / she is your attorney.
