Section 17-2935. REPRESENTATION

 

2935.1A respondent may be represented only by an attorney who is an active member of the District of Columbia Bar, except that the Director may permit an attorney who is an active member of the bar of another jurisdiction in the United States to represent a respondent in a particular case.

 

2935.2If it appears to the Director that the issues or facts in a matter before it are so complex that the interests of justice, saving time, or facilitating the preparation of an adequate record would be served by the representation of a party by an attorney, the Director may urge, but not require, that the party obtain the services of an attorney and may allow that party a reasonable period of time within which to do so.

 

2935.3An attorney shall not participate in a representative capacity in any hearing conducted by the Director until the attorney submits to the Director a signed statement containing the attorney's name, street address, telephone number, and bar number.

 

2935.4An attorney authorized to appear pursuant to this section may sign any paper required or permitted by this chapter or the Act to be filed with the Director.
