§ 89.4. Representation of respondent-attorney.
(a) Appearance in propria persona. When a respondent-attorney appears pro se in a formal proceeding such attorney shall file with the Board Prothonotary, with proof of service of a copy upon the Office of Disciplinary Counsel, an address at which any notice or other written communication required to be served upon such attorney may be sent.
(b) Representation of respondent-attorney by counsel. When a respondent-attorney is represented by counsel in a formal proceeding counsel shall file with the Board Prothonotary, with proof of service of a copy upon the Office of Disciplinary Counsel, a written notice of such appearance, which shall state the name, address and telephone number of such counsel, the name and address of the respondent-attorney on whose behalf such counsel appears, and the caption and docket number of the subject proceeding. Any additional notice or other written communication required to be served on or furnished to a respondent-attorney may be sent to the counsel of record for such respondent-attorney at the stated address of the counsel in lieu of transmission to the respondent-attorney. In any proceeding where counsel has filed a notice of appearance pursuant to this subsection, any notice or other written communication required to be served upon or furnished to the respondent-attorney shall also be served upon or furnished to such counsel (or one of such counsel if the respondent-attorney is represented by more than one counsel) in the same manner as prescribed for the respondent-attorney, notwithstanding the fact that such communication may be furnished directly to the respondent-attorney.
(c) Restrictions on representation. Members of the Board, partners or employes of any firm in which a member of the Board practices, hearing committee members and special masters shall not appear as counsel for a respondent-attorney.
