What Constitutes the Unauthorized Practice of Law There is a line between helping folks in need and practicing law when illegally prohibited from doing so. Where is that line when estate planning is involved? The case below should help you assess this facet.

Read theFla. Bar v. Miravalle(2000) case. Based on your reading, answer the following and explain your choice:

• What specific actions did the Bar say were UPL?
• Do you think that non-lawyers should be prohibited from performing the tasks mentioned in the case? Why or why not?
• What (if anything) could the individual providing legal services have done differently to avoid the charge of UPL?

Justify your ideas and responses by using appropriate examples and references (including primary sources such as cases, statutes, rules, regulations, etc.), government Web sites, peer-reviewed legal periodicals (not lawyer blogs), which can besupplementedby law dictionaries or the textbook. This means you need to use more than just your text and legal dictionaries.
