Laymen Lawyers Out Of Business In Supreme Court Ruling
The Supreme Court ruled unanimously that laymen cannot properly represent injured workers before the Workmen's Compensation Commission. Judge Frank C. Haymond affirmed Fayette County Court action restraining Emmett J. Earley, union business agent, from practicing law for claimants. Earley argued Rule 21 allowed lay agents, but the court said only licensed attorneys may practice law and the judiciary must regulate such conduct to protect the public.
