An appearance is a document that a lawyer files and it says that he or she appears as an attorney for a person. It is how an attorney gets into a case.

That is when an attorney lets the court and opposing counsel know that he is getting involved in a case and representing one of the parties. When a defense attorney files an appearance, it means he is officially announcing that he is the lawyer for the defendant.
