(KSL News) A high profile lawyer needs to recruit someone to help him represent polygamist leader Warren Jeffs.

Las Vegas lawyer Richard Wright is not licensed to practice in Utah state courts. So he's expected to look for a Utah attorney before Jeffs' court hearing scheduled for Monday in Saint George.

A judge has said he wants to know by then if Jeffs will have a Utah lawyer.

Highway Patrol troopers in Nevada arrested Jeffs last month. He's sitting in Purgatory jail facing a rape charge.
