requiring the signature of counsel and any settlement or compromise of a claim
must be signed by a supervising lawyer.

Federal Public Defender. Any other local rule notwithstanding, in any criminal
case, any law student under the supervision of the United States Attorney or the
Federal Public Defender, who has completed at least two (2) years of study at any
American Bar Association accredited law school, may appear in court provided
that the United States Attorney or Federal Public Defender personally approves,
and provided further that:

Attorney or Assistant Federal Public Defender who is present in court; and

governed by the rules of conduct applicable to lawyers generally, but the
termination of practice referred to in LR84.1(c)(1)(B) shall be the exclusive
sanction for disciplinary infractions that occur during authorized practice. Any
discipline imposed under this rule may be considered by a court or agency
authorized to entertain applications for admission to the practice of law.
