[CLBS] Lawyers in Small Claims

[Tyler S. Wirick]

All,

An odd question for you. I’m helping a buddy in a small claims case in which a company filed a small claims suit against my buddy. The Chief Legal Officer, an attorney, shows up in court and says he’s appearing as an officer of the company, is appearing in that capacity, and not as an attorney. This seems to appear at odds with IRCP 81(d), but the problem I see is: what if the attorney is the owner of a business that is not a law office or firm? Would Rule 81(d) then not apply? Anyone had this situation? 

Best regards,

Tyler S. Wirick
