I have a few thousand and I am thinking about starting my own law firm. I called the local bar and they said it was a crazy idea to do it and that they would not allow me to join the bar without a degree.
All I need to do is rent an office, get my business paperwork squared away, and open up shop.
I was told I need a letter from the bar association as one of many things in order to get my license to practice law.
According to the 1st Amendment, I can do this. IO would guess the grey area probably would be that I may be breaking a law if I call myself a lawyer. So I would have to call myself "Unlicensed Counsel". But anyone can represent anyone if the judge allows it.
So whats your take on this. Oh, and if you are a lawyer, judge, or anyone who works within the court system, I expect a professional reply.
