I am aware that although Edward Bowden is a law student and not a licensed lawyer, Edward Bowden has been authorized by the Colorado Supreme Court to appear and participate in my case in the same way a licensed lawyer would be able to appear and represent me.
Here is an excerpt from the Attorney Regulation Counsel:

I am also aware that in order for the above law student extern to represent me they must be, and will be supervised by licensed Deputy State Public Defenders. I have further been advised that Emily Valdez is responsible for supervising the law student extern and that other licensed attorneys may provide in-court supervision in my case.
