Abstract

Model Rule 5.5 of the American Bar Association’s Model Rules of Professional Conduct1 addresses two interrelated issues: the unauthorized practice of law, which applies to lawyers and nonlawyers alike, and multijurisdictional practice, which applies to lawyers who are licensed to practice in one state but whose work may involve or take them to states where they are not licensed.
