WILLIAM DONALD SCHAEFER, Governor                        Ch. 3

District Court of Maryland for the corporation
"notwithstanding any Maryland District Rule to the
contrary", is deleted as unnecessary in light of Md.
Constitution, Art. IV, § 18(a).

As to the requirements for registration before the
Patent and Trademark Office, see Title 37, Part 10,
Code of Federal Regulations.

As to the referenced exceptions, see also § 10-102 of
this title. See also Rule 18 of the Rules Governing
Admission to the Bar, which allows a law student to
practice law under the supervision of a supervising
attorney. Other statutes that refer to representation
by persons other than lawyers include Art. 23B, §
93(e), Art. 27, § 728(b)(10), Art. 28, § 8-112.1, Art.
64A, § 53(b), Art. 66B, §§ 2.08(f) and 4.07(g), Art.
95A, § 16(b), TG § 13-515(b), and TR §§ 5-613(c)(2)
and 5-814(c)(2).

The Business Occupations Article Review Committee
notes, for consideration by the General Assembly,
that, until January 1, 1988, the dollar limitation in
former Art. 27, § 14A -- now subsection (b)(3)(i) of
this section -- conformed to the amount that
delineated small claims in the District Court of
Maryland, under CJ § 4-405. However, Ch. 314, Acts of
1987, raised the amount for small claims to $2,500.
The General Assembly may wish to consider whether a
reference to the amount set under CJ § 4-405 should be
substituted for the $1,000 currently set forth in
subsection (b)(3)(i) of this section to reflect Ch.
314 and to accommodate possible changes to CJ § 4-405
without the necessity of a corresponding change here.
