Opinion
PALMER, J.
The petitioner, the commissioner of the department of children and families (commissioner), appeals from the portion of the trial court’s judgment permanently enjoining her from filing, in Superior Court, petitions for the termination of parental rights (termination petitions) that have been prepared, signed and filed by persons who are not admitted to the practice of law. We reverse the judgment of the trial court insofar as it enjoins the commissioner’s nonlawyer representatives from preparing, signing and filing termination petitions.
