change lawyers after case management conference?

[VIDEO: "What is parental alienation?"]

I thought I could change my conference, but now I'm being told that the courts call stop you from changing lawyers after the conf.  Is that true?

I've heard of times when a lawyer is not allowed to withdraw from a case.  I've also heard of time when a party is told that a case won't be continued (that is, delayed to a later date to allow getting a new lawyer or bringing a new lawyer up to speed) if he/she fires or changes the lawyer representing him/her.  I don't know if they can stop you from changing.

actually i found out that you certainly can change after the conference (at least in my state).  it's after the early settlement panel that you can't.
