| | Virginia Unauthorized Practice of Law Opinion 201 |
 | | Engage in the practice of law when the matter concerns the law of the jurisdiction where the attorney is licensed to practice. | | | Therefore, a non-Virginia licensed attorney practicing in the Virginia office of a multi-jurisdictional law firm cannot meet with clients in Virginia to give legal advice involving the application of the law of a jurisdiction in which the attorney is not admitted to practice. | | | As to your third inquiry, the committee has previously opined that it would constitute the unauthorized practice of law for a foreign attorney to advise any client in Virginia on matters that involve law which is neither federal law nor the law of a jurisdiction in which the foreign attorney is authorized to practice law. |

| | Utah State Bar News & Announcemtns - REPORT ON THE DEFINITION OF “THE PRACTICE OF LAW” |
| | The “practice of law” is the representation of the interests of another person by informing, counseling, advising, assisting or advocating for that person through application of the law and associated legal principles to that person’s facts and circumstances. | | | The practice of law, although difficult to define precisely, is generally acknowledged to involve the rendering of services that require the knowledge and application of legal principles to serve the interests of another with his consent. | | | Having defined the practice of law broadly and making it the universe in which any Utah lawyer may practice, we then recognize today’s society demands (and reasonably so) that a number of areas of the practice of law may be undertaken by persons who are not lawyers. |

| | The lawyer cannot incur civil or criminal liability for practicing law without a license because the lawyer, by definition, is licensed. | | | Holding a law license is a "privilege," the courts tell us, not a "right." In other words, if you want to be a lawyer, you accept your license with the understanding that the state has the right to take that license away. | | | Limiting the practice of law to members of the bar protects the public against rendition of legal services by unqualified persons. |

| | A mediator who is not a lawyer and who engages in conduct considered in his or her jurisdiction to be the practice of law is, obviously, engaged in the unauthorized practice of law. | | | If the mediator drafts an agreement that goes beyond the terms specified by the parties, he or she may be engaged in the practice of law. | | | The preparation of a memorandum of understanding or settlement agreement by a mediator, incorporating the terms of settlement specified by the parties, does not constitute the practice of law. |
