AB 852 Update From Barbara Liss, Bar Liaison, Santa Barbara Paralegal Association

Attached is the summary just issued/published by the State Bar, stating that there is no opposition to AB 852.  AB 852 renews the State Bar’s attempt to gain civil penalties for pursuing all non-lawyers for the unauthorized practice of law, not merely rogue immigration consultants or foreclosure scam artists, as addressed in the summary.  Once again, the language of AB 852 is broader than the bar’s stated intent.

    State Bar will be sponsoring AB 865, designed to help curb the unlicensed practice of law. But is it a slippery slope?
