State Bar petition seeks to protect consumers against unauthorized practice of law

Our State Bar's August 2007 Inside the Bar newsletter reports on its June 2007 petition to the Supreme Court.

The petition asks the court to take two actions: 1) adopt a new rule to clearly define what constitutes the practice of law for consumer protection purposes; and 2) create an administrative system to enforce the new rule.

In support of the effort, a related article on Examples of unauthorized practice of law describes four individual cases.
