Rule 14.25 - Appearances and Activities of Foreign Attorney(1) A foreign attorney may appear before any court or before any administrative tribunal in this state in accordance with this rule. As used herein, "appear" or "appearance" means personal appearance before a court or an administrative tribunal. The foreign attorney shall at all times be subject to the supervision of the supervising attorney who shall personally appear with the foreign attorney. No foreign attorney shall appear until the client, the supervising attorney and the judge of the court or the presiding officer of the tribunal have consented to such appearance. The supervising attorney shall be responsible for explaining to the client the nature and extent of the foreign attorney's participation and for obtaining the client's consent to such participation. The client's consent shall be in writing and filed with the court or tribunal and become part of the record of the case.(2) A foreign attorney may engage in other activities, under the general supervision of the supervising attorney, but outside the personal presence of the supervising attorney, including: (a) Preparation of pleadings and other documents to be filed in any matter in which the foreign attorney is eligible to appear; but such pleadings or documents must be signed by the supervising attorney;(b) Preparation of briefs, abstracts and other documents to be filed in the appellate courts of this state; but such documents must be signed by the supervising attorney;(c) Assistance to indigent inmates of correctional institutions or other persons convicted of crimes who request such assistance in preparing habeas corpus applications and supporting documents for post-conviction relief, except when the assignment of counsel in the matter is required by any constitutional provision, statute or rule of the Court; provided that if there is an attorney of record in the matter, all such assistance must be supervised both by the supervising attorney and the attorney of record, and all documents submitted to the court on behalf of such client must be signed by the attorney of record.(3) Each document or pleading prepared under sub-paragraph (3) of this rule must contain the name of the foreign attorney who has participated in drafting it. If the foreign attorney participated in drafting only a portion of a document or pleading then that fact may be mentioned. A foreign attorney may participate in oral argument before any court or administrative tribunal, but only if the supervising attorney is present.
