3:8-2. Joint Representation

No attorney or law firm shall be permitted to enter an appearance for or represent more than one defendant in a multi-defendant indictment without securing permission of the court.

Such motion shall be made in the presence of the defendants sought to be represented as early as practicable in the proceedings but no later than the arraignment/status conference so as to avoid delay of the trial. For good cause shown, the court may allow the motion to be brought at any time.
