Universal Citation: 8 AK Admin Code 8 AAC 57.067

Current through February 27, 2024

(a) If a party is self-represented in an appeal or petition for review, all references in this chapter to a party's attorney are construed as referring to the self-represented party personally. Any document filed by a self-represented party must include a mailing address, electronic mail address, or facsimile number at which that party can be served, and a telephone number for contact.

(b) A self-represented party may not have a non-attorney representative but may have a non-attorney assistant. A non-attorney assistant may assist a self-represented party by

(1) assembling records, making copies, and typing documents;

(2) informing the self-represented party of the procedures, regulations, statutes, and decisions that may be applicable;

(3) completing forms and preparing correspondence and documents; however, all documents filed with the commission must be signed and dated by the self-represented party, whose signature on those documents constitutes certification that the self-represented party has read the documents; and

(4) preparing for and attending hearings or oral arguments and providing needed support; however, the non-attorney assistant may not address the commission, unless permitted by the commission or chair.
