A. A party in any proceeding before this Court, including agreed settlements, may appear pro se, by an attorney licensed to practice law in Oklahoma, by an out-of-state attorney admitted to practice before the Court pursuant to rules of the Oklahoma Bar Association, or by a licensed legal intern. Provided further, corporate entities, limited liability companies, insurance companies and own risk employers may appear only by an attorney. No persons except licensed attorneys, pro se litigants, and legal interns knowledgeable of the case may present documents to the judge for signature.

B. Attorneys who will appear before the Court on behalf of a party shall notify the Court of their appearance by filing an entry of appearance. An entry of appearance on behalf of the respondent shall be filed no later than ten (10) days after the respondent's receipt of a file-stamped copy of a Form 3, 3A, 3B or 3F. The entry of appearance for the respondent shall contain language stating whether the employer is an active member of a certified workplace medical plan in which the claimant is potentially enrolled, and if so, the name of the plan.

C. The attorney of record for the claimant in a case shall be the attorney signing the first Form 3, 3A, 3B or 3F filed in the case. Any other attorney who files an entry of appearance on behalf of any party in the case or who is identified as a substitute attorney pursuant to a notice of substitution of attorney shall also be considered an attorney of record. The Court shall send notices to all attorneys of record until a substitution of attorney has been filed or an Application for Leave to Withdraw as Attorney has been filed and granted by the Court pursuant to Rule 51 (B). Various attorneys may appear before the Court in a matter, but notice shall be sent only to those attorneys who are an “attorney of record” as defined in this subsection.
