Appearances and representation

Any party may participate in the hearing in person, or if the party is a corporation or other artificial person, by a duly authorized representative. Regardless of whether a party is participating in person, any party may be advised and represented by an attorney licensed to practice in North Dakota or, if permitted by law, other representative. Persons acting in a representative capacity must be prepared to show proof of their authority, in law and fact, to act in such capacity.
