Topeka (WIBW) - A man jailed for nearly four months in a dispute over whether he practiced law has an attorney if he wants one.

The Kansas Supreme Court appointed Richard Lake of Holton Friday to serve as standby counsel for David Price.

Price was jailed in August for violating an order to stop practicing law without a license. The Court says he'll be released when he signs a document promising not to do so again.

Price, however, is refusing to sign. He says he's only acted as an advocate, not an attorney.

In appointing Lake, the Court said it appears Price doesn't understand the law governing his case.
