and signed by the attorney before the appointment is made. This letter may be emailed or faxed to the visiting officer who will then confirm the approved visit by email.

appropriate time.
Attorneys who wish to counsel their clients during parole hearings are required to make an appointment as specified above. Without such an appointment, attorneys are not permitted to
speak to their clients outside of the ISCC courtroom during the parole hearing.
If the visiting attorney is not already the attorney of record, the attorney may have up to three visits to determine if they will become the attorney of record. Of note, the agent of
the attorney is not allowed visitation until after the attorney has become the attorney of record.
