Section 46a-54-16a - Attorneys; form of appearances on behalf of complainants, respondents, intervenors and other parties
(a) Except as provided in section 46a-54-15 a of the Regulations of Connecticut State Agencies, an attorney may appear by completing a commission appearance form or by providing all of the information requested on such form in a letter or similar document. To constitute an appearance, a form, letter or document shall contain the names of the parties, the commission's docket number, the name of the party or parties which the attorney is representing, the attorney's juris number, if the attorney is admitted to practice in Connecticut, and the attorney's address, telephone number and facsimile number. Any document constituting an appearance shall be personally signed by the attorney filing the appearance.
(b) A law firm may appear by filing its juris number only if it also appears by naming an individual attorney associated with the firm who will be responsible for the firm's representation and providing that individual attorney's juris number. Delivery or mailing of documents to that individual will constitute delivery to the law firm. Law firms that appear are responsible for keeping the commission informed of the individual attorney responsible for the client's representation.
(c) Law student interns may appear pursuant to the rules of the Connecticut Superior Court in any commission proceeding, provided written consent is filed with the commission by the party and supervising attorney, who shall be fully responsible for the conduct of the intern and representation of the cause.
(d) An attorney who seeks to withdraw his or her appearance is required to submit a written notice of withdrawal form to the office processing the complaint. Copies of this form are available from the commission. Upon the filing of this notice of withdrawal form, the attorney shall concurrently serve copies of the withdrawal form upon the client, other parties and intervenors. The attorney shall include a certification that a copy of the notice was mailed or delivered to all counsel and pro se parties and intervenors of record, and to the client. The certification shall include the name of each party, intervenor, and client served, the address at which service was made and the date copies were mailed or delivered.
