Question:
What do you think of disbarred lawyers working as paralegals? Is this practice permitted in your state? Is it more likely that a disbarred lawyer would engage in unauthorized practice of law than a paralegal?
Why do you think this? Research cases in your state. For a start, see In re Scott, 739 N.E.2d 658 (Ind. 2000), where a lawyer is disciplined for hiring a disbarred lawyer and allowing him to serve as the main contact with clients and to prepare and file various legal documents without adequate supervision.
