N.D. Ohio LCrR 57.6

Under the supervision of an attorney licensed to practice before this Court, a student who

(1) is enrolled in a school of law accredited by the American Bar Association or holding

membership in the Association of American Law Schools, and (2) has completed one-half of the

credit hours required for graduation may, with the consent of the trial judge, participate as

though he or she were a duly-licensed attorney in causes pending before this Court, to the extent

authorized by this Rule. Such student participation shall be limited to the following situations:

(a) In all cases, parties to the litigation shall have advised the Court that they

agree to the student's participation and that full explanation has been made of the

student's status.

(b) In all cases, the student shall receive no compensation, directly or indirectly,

for participation, other than the award of academic credit by the student's law school.

This Rule shall not preclude a person who is salaried by a nonprofit agency (e.g., Legal

Aid Office) from engaging in a student practice pursuant to this Rule.

(c) In criminal cases, a student may participate in prosecution as requested by the

Office of the United States Attorney; a student may participate in defense as requested by

attorneys representing defendants.

(d) In habeas corpus and post-conviction cases, a student may participate as

requested by attorneys for petitioners; a student may participate on behalf of respondents

as requested by respondent's counsel.

The term "supervision" as used in this Rule means the presence in Court during the

student's participation of the attorney requesting his or her services, unless such attorney's

absence is expressly authorized by the party whom he or she represents, the student, and the

Judge.

The Judge before whom a student is participating may, at any time and with or without

cause and for any reason, revoke the authorization established by this Rule.
