The former president's lawyer has until November 2 to apply to join the bar of the D.C. Court of Appeals.
A lawyer representing former President Donald Trump has been told he must apply to join the bar of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit before the court can accept an appeal from him against Trump's recently imposed gag order.The clerks of the D.C. Court of Appeals sent a letter to attorney John Lauro on Wednesday advising him that the court could not accept filings from attorneys who are not members of the court's bar.
'The clerks' letter said: 'Our records reveal that you are not a member of the bar of this court. It is the policy of the court that all attorneys appearing before it be members of the bar of this court. Our rules do not allow us to accept filings from attorneys who are not members.'The letter also notes that there is a deadline of November 2 if Lauro wishes to apply for admission to the court's bar.
