- Johnny Abrams is a lawyer who is licensed to practice law in Texas. He's represented Jake Tyler in several matters. Jake is being sued in Louisiana. Johnny Abrams represents Jake in the Louisiana court even though he is not licensed to practice law in Louisiana. Johnny has violated the ABA Model Code of Professional Responsibility Rule 5.5, the unauthorized practice of law.(ABA Model Rules, 2002, r. 5.5)
- An injunction and citation of contempt of court are two appropriate responses to Johnny's actions. Once the court finds out Johnny is not licensed to practice in Louisiana, it should cite him for contempt of court and order him to pay a fine. The court should then issue an injunction to force him to stop representing the client in the matter.(Orlik, 2014, p.56)
- This rule is sufficiently clear. It outlines what a lawyer shall not do.
