Question
There have been numerous state challenges over whether or not the sales of do-it-yourself kits, such as will and trust kits, constitute UPL. Cases that hold that do-it-yourself kits are not UPL also hold that helping consumers use the kits constitutes UPL.
Based on the above information, answer the following questions:
Do you think this is an appropriate place to draw the line?
What harm could be caused to a consumer who uses a do-it-yourself kit?
What harm could be caused to a non-lawyer who assists someone with a do-it-yourself kit?
How can these kits benefit consumers?
Justify your ideas and responses by using appropriate examples and references from Lexis Advance (including primary sources such as cases, statutes, rules, regulations, etc.), government Web sites, peer-reviewed legal periodicals (not lawyer blogs), which can be supplemented by law dictionaries or the textbook. This means you need to use more than just your text and legal dictionaries.
