Joel LawrenceClow, 47, of Pleasant Grove, P.E.I.,haspleaded not guilty to first-degree murderand one count of indecent interference with a human body.

Clow was back in Supreme Court Monday morning, a month after the start of his murder trial was abruptly adjourned when his lawyer Thane MacEachern resigned.

MacEachern said at the time, "It is an ethical matter...Mr. Clow is refusing to accept my advice."

MacEachern returned to court with Clow Monday morning to advise Justice Wayne Cheverie that Clow hasn't lined up a new lawyer yet. MacEachernpointed out there is a "limited pool of lawyers" in this province.

MacEachern said Clow does have a meeting arranged today with a potential lawyer.

A new court date is set forthis Friday.
