CA. Bus. Prof. Code 6450 Now that we are familiar with Westlaw, let's take a look at some materials that discuss the California Business and Professions Code, Section 6450. A copy of the code is available on Westlaw. Paralegals can perform \"substantial legal work under the direction and supervision of an active member of the State Bar of California, as defined in Section 6060, or an attorney practicing law in the federal courts of this state, that has been specifically delegated by the attorney to him or her. Tasks performed by a paralegal include, but are not limited to, case planning, development, and management; legal research; interviewing clients; fact gathering and retrieving information;\" (Cal. Bus. & Prof. Code 6450 (West)). It is imperative to remember that Paralegals are not authorized to practice law. The Code states Paralegals cannot \"engage in conduct that constitutes the unlawful practice of law (Cal. Bus. & Prof. Code 6450 (West)). ABA Rules of Professional Conduct Rule 1.1 of the ABA Rules of Professional Conduct is entitled \"Competence.\" Other professional organizations, such as the National Association of Legal Assistants (\"NALA), provides guidance specifically for paralegals. NALA Code of Professional Ethics and Professional Responsibility / Model Rules of Professional Conduct Rule 1.I: Competence Share: f in = & Client-Lawyer Relationship A lawyer shall provide competent representation to a client. Competent representation requires the legal knowledge, skill, thoroughness and preparation reasonably necessary for the representation. Comment | Table of Contents | Next Rule
