Rule 1. Scope of Rules

(a) [NO CHANGE]

(b) Licensed Legal Paraprofessionals (“LLPs”). C.R.C.P. 2 though C.R.C.P. 121 shall apply to licensed legal paraprofessionals when consistent with the scope of practice authorized by  C.R.C.P. 207.1.

(c) Effective Date. Amendments of these rules shall be effective on the date established by the Supreme Court at the time of their adoption, and thereafter all laws in conflict therewith shall be of no further force or effect.
