                        Representation By Lawyer


At a contested hearing where an attorney has appeared for the defendant
or witnesses have been subpoenaed, a lawyer representative of the City
Prosecutor's office shall personally appear at the time of hearing. A
defendant issued a Notice of Infraction and represented by an attorney
must provide a written Notice of Appearance to the City Prosecutor for
the municipality issuing the Notice, together with filing a copy of the
Notice of Appearance with the Court Clerk. The Notice of Appearance shall
be filed not later than 10 days following the date defendant's request for
a contested hearing has been filed with the Court Clerk. Upon receipt of
a Notice of Appearance, the Court Clerk shall set, or reset the contested
hearing to an appropriate calendar. The failure to timely file a notice of
appearance may result in the contested hearing being continued beyond the
120 days from the date the Notice of Infraction was issued.
