Mug Shot

The Nebraska Supreme Court has enjoined the unauthorized practice of law on the part of a state resident doing business in Omaha under the name Parental Rights.

The subject of the injunction was providing advice for a fee in a series of domestic relations matters. One of his “clients” went to the Creighton University Law School and met with the clinic director. The client identified the accused through police mug shots. An investigation by the Commission on Unauthorized Practice of Law led to charges before a hearing master.

This is an excellent case for teaching principles of unauthorized practice. (Mike Frisch)
