It formally informs the court and all other parties that the attorney represents a specific client in the matter.
By filing this, the attorney accepts responsibility for the case, demands to receive copies of all future filings, and waives any objections to the court's jurisdiction over their client's person (in many instances).
It marks the official entry of legal counsel into the proceeding.
