In its most general sense, the practice of law involves giving legal advice to clients, drafting legal documents for clients, and representing clients in legal negotiations and court proceedings such as lawsuits, and is applied to the professional services of a lawyer or attorney at law, barrister, solicitor, or civil law notary. However, there is a substantial amount of overlap between the practice of law and various other professions where clients are represented by agents. These professions include real estate, banking, accounting, and insurance. Moreover, a growing number of legal document assistants (LDAs) are offering services which have traditionally been offered only by lawyers and their employee paralegals. Many documents may now be created by computer-assisted drafting libraries, where the clients are asked a series of questions posed by the software in order to construct the legal documents. In the United States, the practice of law is conditioned upon admission to the bar of a particular state or other territorial jurisdiction. The American Bar Association and the American Law Institute are among the organizations that are concerned with the interests of lawyers as a profession and the promulgation of uniform standards of professionalism and ethics, but regulation of the practice of law is left to the individual states. "Unauthorized practice of law" (UPL) is prohibited in every state[citation needed] by statute, regulation, or court rules.[1] For example, Texas law generally prohibits a person who is not an attorney from representing a client in a personal injury or property damage matter, and punishes a violation as a misdemeanor. [2] Some states also criminalize the separate behavior of falsely claiming to be lawyer (in Texas, for example, this is a felony). [3] Interpretations of the term "unauthorized practice of law" vary among jurisdictions. For example, the use of legal document assistants (LDAs) in California is tolerated to a high degree. Many of the activities LDAs perform in California would be considered the "unauthorized practice of law" if performed in New York.

10. The outlook for law Firms in the South of England
July 16, 2008
Southern law firms have always faced more of a challenge than other regions, and the legal jobs market has often been acknowledged as one of the most disjointed legal markets within the UK.

Despite the region’s close reach of London there is still much difficulty in finding a strategy to promote financial growth.
A number of factors have to be taken into consideration when tackling this problem. Firstly, is organic growth possible? Is a London offi... (read more)

16. In Oaxaca Mexico, Purely Elective and Cosmetic Procedures and coverage
June 27, 2008
When I first gave up the practice of law in Toronto in favor of early retirement in Oaxaca, I assumed that the years I would add to my life by leading a much more stress-free existence in Mexico, would be lost by the inferior health care system to which I would be exposed, subjected and restricted. This, then, is my assessment of the extent to which my presuppositions have been accurate, together with information and advice for both vacationers to and would-be ex-patriot residents of Oaxaca.
