Sec. 702.7  Counsel.



    (a) Persons compelled to appear in person before the Commission and 

any witness appearing at a public session of the Commission will be 

accorded the right to be accompanied and advised by counsel, who will 

have the right to subject their clients to reasonable examination, make 

objections on the record, and briefly argue the basis for such 

objections.

    (b) For the purpose of this section, counsel shall mean an attorney 

at law admitted to practice before the Supreme Court of the United 

States or the highest court of any State or Territory of the United 

States.

    (c) Failure of any persons to obtain counsel shall not excuse them 

from attendance in response to a subpoena, nor shall any persons be 

excused in the event their counsel is excluded from the proceeding 

pursuant to Sec. 702.6(g). In the latter case, however, such persons 

shall be afforded a reasonable time to obtain other counsel, said time 

to be determined by the Commission.
