Limited Practice Rule for Nonlawyers Approved June 15

June 15, 2012 Washington Supreme Court Order #25700-A-1005 Consistent with GR 25 (the Supreme Court rule establishing the Practice of Law Board), the rule establishes a framework for the licensing and regulation of non-attorneys to engage in discrete activities that currently fall within the definition of the "practice of law" (as defined by GR 24) and which are currently subject to exclusive regulation and oversight by this Court. The rule itself authorizes no one to practice. It simply establishes the regulatory framework for the consideration of proposals to allow non-attorneys to practice.

Potpourri
 
This issue of Facts & Findings is a potpourri issue!  NALA has so much talent in its membership that we have articles that have been submitted that do not relate to any one legal topic. Therefore, sometimes we need to have an issue that is a mixed bag of articles that are not related to a particular topic.

For example, Julie Daniels’ article on corporate paralegals gives us insight on the role of a corporate paralegal in a law office or corporation and the skills needed in each situation. Beth Nellis has written an informative article on Courthouse Assistance Program. Beth informs us about a program in Tulsa where the goal of the program is to provide short-term legal assistance at the courthouse on a volunteer basis to individuals who have an immediate need for, but cannot afford to hire counsel in civil matters. Among other articles, Eric Matusewitch writes on Facebook Passwords which should interest us all. In addition, this issue is also our pre-convention issue.  Click on the articles below to read more!
