7.12 Defense of Law

Article 313 - Presentation

Canon 3294 (link)

Presentation is a form of defense whereby an accused appoints another called a "actor" under oath and written agreement to act on their behalf before a competent Court.

Canon 3295 (link)

There are two forms of appointment of an actor being Agent or Advocate:

(i) An Agent is an Administrator appointed by the man or woman by their right and knowledge as General Executor over any trust concerning their body, mind, spirit, name and affairs; or

(ii) An Advocate is a competent legal representative appointed to speak and argue on behalf of the man or woman.

Canon 3296 (link)

Given a solemn oath and signed agreement is required for any man or woman to be duly appointed a legitimate Advocate or Agent, no current member of a private Bar Guild can lawfully be an Advocate or Agent without repudiating either their absolute vow to their Guild or the oath to their client.
