Currentness
(a) Any individual may enter an appearance on his or her own behalf in any Docket before the Commission.
(b) Except as provided in Subsection (a), no one but a licensed attorney may represent any Person other than himself or herself in any Docket. The attorney need not be licensed in Arkansas, but must be licensed by and in good standing with the highest court of another United States jurisdiction. Any attorney not licensed in Arkansas may appear before the Commission without formally moving to be admitted pro hac vice, so long as the attorney verifies his/her compliance with this licensure standard in the first filing made in each Docket, complies with all Commission Rules, and agrees to conform to the standards of conduct required by all attorneys before the courts of Arkansas. Any appearance before the Commission by an attorney constitutes verification of and compliance with this standard.
(c) Representation includes, but is not limited to, the following activities, when performed on behalf of another in a formal Commission proceeding:
(1) Instruction or advice regarding the law applicable to the proceeding;
(2) Preparation of documents requiring a familiarity with legal principles not ordinarily found among non-lawyers; or
(3) Advocacy in contested or uncontested proceedings, whether or not a hearing is held. Advocacy includes, for example, opening and closing statements; oral argument; submission of briefs; examination or cross-examination of witnesses; and petitions for rehearing.
