## Opinion text

NIX, Justice,
concurring.
I join the opinion. I write, however, to emphasize that the fact that Ms. Laffey was a resident of Cumberland County is immaterial to the decision in this case. The thrust of this holding is that a local court cannot limit to any extent the right of a duly certified member of the Bar of this Court in the practice of law before that tribunal.
