A. Criminal actions may be prosecuted by the Osage Nation Attorney General, an attorney designated by the Attorney General or the arresting officer.
B. Civil actions where the Osage Nation is a plaintiff or defendant or which involve an appeal of an administrative action of an official of the Osage Nation may be prosecuted or defended by an appropriate, nonattorney official of the Osage Nation.

In such instances the Judge shall grant a reasonable continuance of the matter.
