R25-3-14. Appellant's Rights

(1) Representation. An appellant may be represented by an attorney of law. However, the state neither provides legal counsel or representation to employees or officers who request a review hearing nor pays the fees for their representation in the course of the appeal proceedings. (2) Pro Se Status. A party to an appeal proceeding may appear pro se. When a party appears pro se, the party may request the issuance of subpoenas, directly examine and cross-examine witnesses, make opening and closing statements, submit documentary evidence, summarize testimony, and in all respects fully present one's own case. (3) No Reprisal. Pursuant to Subsection 67-19a-303(3), no appointing authority, director, manager, or supervisor may take action to retaliate against an appellant, a representative, or a witness who participates in or is scheduled to participate in an appeal proceeding.
