Any party may be represented at the hearing by counsel, subject to existing state laws, provided that any party intending to be so represented shall notify the other party and the board at least three days prior to the date set for the hearing at which counsel is to first appear. When the initiation of any arbitration is made by counsel or the reply of the other party is given by counsel, such notice is deemed to have been given.
