What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? California
Can someone point me to a good discussion of exactly what you are allowed to do and not allowed to do without violating the rule that you can not Practice Law Without a License?
As I understand it, without license I can not represent someone else in court and I can not be reimbursed for giving my friends and relatives my opinions regarding legal actions they should take.
But this leaves a lot in between.
For example, can I sit down with a relative for free and help him write a statement he plans to take to court? Can I help him fill out a summons and complaint? etc? Can I explain to him why I think he should go to Superior Court?
I hope there is a good discussion of this somewhere.
