REGULATION 2. Approved Practice Areas—Scope of Practice Authorized by Limited

License Legal Technician Rule

In each practice area in which an LLLT is licensed, the LLLT shall comply with the

provisions defining the scope of practice as found in APR 28 and as described herein.

A. Issues Beyond the Scope of Authorized Practice.

An LLLT has an affirmative duty under APR 28(F) to inform clients when issues arise that

are beyond the authorized scope of the LLLT's practice. When an affirmative duty under APR

28(F) arises, then the LLLT shall inform the client in writing that:

1. the issue may exist, describing in general terms the nature of the issue;

2. the LLLT is not authorized to advise or assist on this issue;

3. the failure to obtain a lawyer's advice could be adverse to the client's interests; and

4. the client should consult with a lawyer to obtain appropriate advice and documents

necessary to protect the client's interests.

After an issue beyond the LLLT's scope of practice has been identified, if the client

engages a lawyer with respect to the issue, then an LLLT may prepare a document related to the

issue only if a lawyer acting on behalf of the client has provided appropriate documents and

written instructions for the LLLT as to whether and how to proceed with respect to the issue. If

the client does not engage a lawyer with respect to the issue, then the LLLT may prepare

documents that relate to the issue if

the client informs the LLLT how the issue is to be determined and instructs the LLLT how

to complete the relevant portions of the document, and

above the LLLT’s signature at the end of the document, the LLLT inserts a statement to the

effect that the LLLT did not advise the client with respect to any issue outside of the LLLT’s
