Posted by Spider-Pig on Thu Oct 15 13:08:17 2026, in response to Re: Katie Zacharia, Esq., posted by AlM on Wed Oct 14 21:40:19 2026. It shall be unlawful for any natural person to practice or appear as an attorney-at-law or as an attorney and counselor-at-law for a person other than himself or herself in a court of record in this state, or to furnish attorneys or counsel or an attorney and counsel to render legal services, or to hold himself or herself out to the public as being entitled to practice law as aforesaid, or in any other manner, or to assume to be an attorney or counselor-at-law, or to assume, use, or advertise the title of lawyer, or attorney and counselor-at-law, or attorney-at-law or counselor-at-law, or attorney, or counselor, or attorney and counselor, or equivalent terms in any language, in such manner as to convey the impression that he or she is a legal practitioner of law or in any manner to advertise that he or she either alone or together with any other persons or person has, owns, conducts or maintains a law office or law and collection office, or office of any kind for the practice of law, without having first been duly and regularly licensed and admitted to practice law in the courts of record of this state, and without having taken the constitutional oath. Provided, however, that nothing in this section shall be held to apply (1) to officers of societies for the prevention of cruelty to animals, duly appointed, when exercising the special powers conferred upon such corporations under section fourteen hundred three of the not-for-profit corporation lawN.Y. Judiciary Law § 478 (emphasis added). So she's not pretending to be a lawyer or attorney-at-law* in New York, so this doesn't specifically apply to her, but I'm sure that other states have similar provisions and don't care about the obsolete distinction between "lawyer" and "attorney-at-law." *As distinguished from an "attorney-in-fact," who can be anybody. |
