When can a non-attorney lawfully provide legal advice?
What will be an ideal response?
A non-attorney can lawfully provide legal advice when, the lawyer she works for tells her to call a client and tell them “X” about their case. This allows the paralegal to act as a conduit, or a channel through which something is transmitted or conveyed, and covers “most instances of the paralegal giving legal advice to the client” as the paralegal has been instructed on what to say to the client and it is just as if “the lawyer had written the advice in a letter and sent it to the client.”
