The law of the unauthorized practice of law says that it is UPL to "create legal documents for others." Given this rule, why is it that paralegals are routinely used to create legal documents in law firms?
A) The rule doesn't mean "create" legal documents. It really prohibits non lawyers "signing" legal documents in place of a lawyer
B) The rule against "creating legal documents for others" applies to legal clinics, not other places where paralegals work.
C) The rule is an old rule and is no longer applicable.
D) Paralegals can prepare legal documents for others outside of the supervision of a lawyer so long as the paralegal is not present when the client signs the document.
