It was small claims court, AT&T can't actually send a lawyer there.
A lawyer could potentially do all the prep work (and bill for it) but they can't argue in front of the judge.
- marshray 15y agoSo who represents AT&T at the hearing? Anyone the company designates as long as they're not a lawyer? I think AT&T should be able to send a lawyer in such a case as long as he is wearing a clown suit including the red rubber nose.
- Daniel_Newby 15y ago> A lawyer ... can't argue in front of the judge. AT&T could simply make the lawyer a corporate officer with just enough authority to handle small-claims court.
- endianswap 15y agoIt is my understanding that this is only true in certain states; that in some states corporate lawyers can absolutely argue the proceedings.
