Avoiding Unauthorized Practice of Law
It is widely known that utilizing paralegals is a frequent concern for practicing attorneys, especially when a paralegal's actions may leave them performing tasks (e.g., advising on legal rights, negotiation or settlement, management of a law practice, etc.) which could result in the unauthorized practice of law. Per the American Bar Association, one must possess a law license in order to perform such tasks.

1. Determine three (3) most important characteristics of an effective paralegal. Justify your response.

3. Propose two (2) strategies that a paralegal could take in order to avoid the unauthorized practice of law. Provide a rationale to support your response.
4. Compare and contrast the key differences between the activities of paralegals versus those of attorneys in preparing a case for trial.
