In reality if he is the attorney on the motion or complaint, or opposing counsel has been notified that he is the counsel, even if the trial proper has not begun he will need to have a good reason for the judge. Note that we are talking about a criminal trial, where the defendant is seen as having a right to representation. But even in civil cases an attorney cannot leave a case arbitrarily.
