(a) PROOF OF PUBLICATION. When a statute or these rules require notice by

publication, publication must be proved by affidavit or declaration of an officer or agent

of the publisher stating the dates of publication and accompanied by a copy of the order

or notice as published.

(b) LEGAL NEWSPAPER OR PERIODICAL DEFINED. For purposes of these rules, a

legal newspaper or periodical of daily circulation means a publication designated by the

court that is:

(1) devoted primarily to publication of opinions, notices and other information from

the courts of the District of Columbia;

(2) circulated generally to the legal community; and

(3) published at least on each weekday that the Superior Court is in session.
