Annotation Trial court has jurisdiction under subsection (b) of this rule to conduct punitive contempt proceedings in which the sole allegation is that an individual is engaged in the unauthorized practice of law in violation of rules adopted by the Colorado Supreme Court. Watt, Tieder, Killian & Hoffar v. U.S. Fidelity & Guaranty Co., 847 P.2d 170 (Colo. App. 1992). Because a partnership is not a separate legal entity, but is only treated as such under partnership statutes for certain limited purposes, trial court should reconsider its finding of contempt based on theory that a Virginia partnership and individuals representing it in Colorado courts were engaged in the unauthorized practice of law. Watt, Tieder, Killian & Hoffar v. U.S. Fidelity & Guaranty Co., 847 P.2d 170 (Colo. App. 1992).
