Can a paralegal who works under the supervision of a lawyer be found liable for malpractice?
What will be an ideal response?
Generally, no. Assuming that a paralegal/legal assistant is working under the supervision of a lawyer, then the paralegal/legal assistant would not be engaging in the unauthorized practice of law. But, even if the paralegal/legal assistant would be engaging in UPL, the lawyer would be responsible for the conduct.
