IN THE MATTER OF ASSESSMENT OF )
CIVIL PENALTIES AGAINST: ) REQUEST FOR ORAL PRESENTATION
TOWN OF EDENTON 1
I hereby request to make an oral presentation before the Environmental Management Commission's Committee on
Civil Penalty Remissions in the matter of the case noted above. In making this request, I assert that I understand all of
the following statements:
• This request will be reviewed by the Chairman of the Environmental Management Commission and may be
either granted or denied.
• Making a presentation will require the presence of myself and/or my representative during a Committee
meeting held in Raleigh, North Carolina.
• My presentation will be limited to discussion of issues and information submitted in mr original remission
request, and because no factual issues are in dispute, my presentation will be limited to five (5) minutes in length.
The North Carolina State Bar's Authorized Practice of Law Committee has ruled that the appearance in a representative
capacity at quasi-judicial hearings or proceedings is limited to lawyers who are active members of the bar. Proceedings
before the Committee on Remissions are quasi-judicial. You should consider how you intend to present your case to the
Committee in light of the State Bar's opinion and whether anyone will be speaking in a representative capacity for you
or a business or governmental entity. If you or your representative would like to speak before the Committee, you must
complete and return this form within thirty (30) days of receipt of this letter.
Depending on your status as an individual, corporation, partnership or municipality, the State Bar's Opinion affects how you
may proceed with your oral presentation. See www.ncbar.com/ethics, Authorized Practice Advisory Opinion 2006-1 and
2007 Formal Ethics Opinion 3.
If you are an individual or business owner and are granted an opportunity to make an oral presentation before the
Committee, then you do not need legal representation before the Committee; however, if you intend on having
another individual speak on your behalf regarding the factual situations, such as an expert, engineer or consultant,
then you must also be present at the meeting in order to avoid violating the State Bar's Opinion on the unauthorized
practice of law.
If you are a corporation, partnership or municipality and are granted an opportunity to make an oral presentation
before the Committee, then your representative must consider the recent State Bar's Opinion and could be
considered practicing law without a license if he or she is not a licensed attorney. Presentation of facts by non -
lawyers is permissible.
If you choose to request an oral presentation, please make sure that signatures on the previously submitted Remission
Request form and this Oral Presentation Request form are: 1) for individuals and business owners, your own signature and 2)
for corporations, partnerships and municipalities, signed by individuals who would not violate the State Bar's Opinion on the
unauthorized practice of law.
Also be advised that the Committee on Civil Penaltv Remissions ma choose not to proceed with hearing our case if the
Committee is informed that a violation of the StateBaroccurs
