Important Note on Advisory Opinions
On Dec. 18, 2018, the Practice of
Law Board was reconstituted under Washington Court General Rule 25 (GR 25). This reconstitution of the board changed the
mission of the Practice of Law Board, (available here). Therefore, under the revised Rule GR 25, the
Practice of Law Board no longer accepts any request for an advisory opinion,
and no longer updates these advisory opinions to ensure they still represent
good law and sound judgment regarding the unlawful practice of law.
The unlawful practice of law is
defined by the Revised Code of Washington (RCW) Title 2, Courts of Record,
Chapter 2.48, The State Bar Act, Section 2.48.180 Definitions, Unlawful
Practice a Crime (RCW 2.48.180), and Court General Rule 24 (GR 24) Definition of the Practice of Law.
