Hi mrjobez,
Welcome to the forums.
I'm not a legal professional but as far as I know, an UPL or Unauthorized Practice of law is what prohibits a person who's not an attorney from representing a person legally and performing the role of an attorney in real estate closing or property damage issues etc.
For instance, a bank loan officer drafting legal documents which should be precisely done by an attorney who's aware of legal aspects is considered to be engaged in unauthorized practice of law. Please refer to http://www.law.cornell.edu/ethics/md/narr/MD_NARR_5.HTM for further details.
Take Care |
