bankruptcy pro-se
Can a lawyer advise a pro se litigant for technical purposes, without representing them?
<p>May an attorney or legal advisor sit with a <em>pro se</em> litigant to advise on admissibility and/or rules in an Adversarial Chapter 11 proceeding?</p>

<p>The answer to this question is a function of local rules adopted by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the district where the action is pending. Those rules are not uniform.</p>

<p>Usually, the answer would be no. The federal courts have been reluctant to allow "limited representations" relative to the state courts.</p>
