Abstract:     
In Federal Court, the only member of a SMLLC may not represent the SMLLC unless that owner is also a lawyer. To do so exposes the SMLLC to dismissal as well as the owner to the unauthorized practice of law. The article explores the implications of these rules to small closely held LLCs.
