A.
Any person appearing as a party in any judicial proceeding
before a Court of the Menominee Indian Tribe shall have the right
to be represented by a lay counselor (defined as an advisor who is
not a professional attorney) and to have such person assist in the
preparation and presentation of his case.
B.
Any person appearing as a lay counselor shall be subject
to the same ethical obligations of honesty and confidentiality toward
his client as would be a professional attorney, and the attorney-client
testimonial privilege shall apply in the circumstances in which it
would be applicable to a professional attorney.
C.
Lay counselors shall be deemed officers of the Court
for purposes of their representation of a party and shall be subject
to the disciplinary authority of the Court in all matters related
to their representative capacity.
A.
Any party to a civil or criminal action shall have
the right to be represented by a professional attorney of his own
choice and at his own expense under Rules for Admission to the Menominee
Tribal Bar as the Supreme Court shall prescribe, provided that the
Menominee Indian Tribe shall have no obligation to provide or to pay
for such an attorney. The Supreme Court may establish an appropriate
fee and appropriate qualifications for admission to the Menominee
Tribal Bar.
B.
Notwithstanding the above, any defendant in a criminal
action shall have the right to be represented by a professional attorney
and at his own expense, provided that the attorney is a member of
the Bar of the State of Wisconsin or of the Bar of any other state
or of the District of Columbia. Attorneys so representing criminal
defendants shall be deemed admitted to the Menominee Tribal Bar pro
hoc vice (solely for the purpose of that case). The Menominee Indian
Tribe shall have no obligation to provide or to pay for such an attorney.
C.
The Supreme Court may further provide in its discretion
for the admission of attorneys to the Menominee Tribal Bar pro hoc
vice in civil cases and may establish an appropriate fee for such
admission.
A.
Every attorney admitted to practice before the Courts
of the Menominee Indian Tribe, and every lay counsel employed or appointed
to represent another before such Courts when acting in such capacity
or in matters in any way related thereto, shall conform his conduct
in every respect to the requirements and suggested behavior of the
Code of Professional Responsibility as adopted by the American Bar
Association.
B.
Both professional attorneys and lay counselors who
hold themselves out as being available to act as such have a moral
responsibility to accept as clients and represent without compensation
or without full compensation such persons as a Judge of a Tribal Court
may feel have a particularly urgent need for such representation but
are personally unable to afford or pay for such legal help.
