Advertising and Solicitation

Now the reasoning behind prohibiting the unauthorized practice of law is not to hurt lawyers and anyone legally practicing law. These were put into place to help from personally damaging cases and individuals alike. What if you were given advice and used it to help with your case. Then come to find out that this advice or information was not at all correct and cost you your case. You would be very adamant to return to the individual to find out what had happened. Then you also find out that this person was not legally able to practice law in any manner. You would be furious and would want this person to pay for his/her actions. This is an example of why it is very important why someone that is not authorized

Advertising is protected by the First Amendment of the United States constitution. Conversely, advertising requires less control from the First Amendment, but requires the majority of control from the government and most importantly, the Federal Trade Commission. The Federal Trade Commission controls the content and images that are being advertised to consumers that seem to be exaggerated or just plain over the top. With that being said, false advertising is one of the biggest rising issues amongst many companies, celebrities, business, and much more. False advertising is when an individual(s) attempt to betray consumers into believing they are purchasing an absolutely amazing product, when in reality, they are

Advertisements are an important vehicle designed to promote or help sell a product, service or idea (Young, 2014, p.35). As a dimension of IMC, advertising is “…most often associated with offenses that attract attention from critics and regulators alike” (Young, 2014, p.34). This can be

Giving legal advice and how some legal advice can turn into an unauthorized practice of law can be confusing for outsiders, however, it is very clear the difference between legal advice and restating the law. Giving legal advice is

First, there is an analysis that must be completed before determining whether an individual’s behavior constitutes as the unlicensed practice of law. The court will ask if the activity taking place is related to the practice of law? (flcourts.org) If it is, was the activity authorized? So how must one determine whether they are indeed practicing law? The court found that the definition of the practice of law was too broad. (flcourts.org) Therefore, they needed a narrower approach to the question; allowing them to develop a test to determine the practice of law. If a person is found to be giving advice, and/or performing services that will affect one’s rights, and/or the person giving the advice possesses higher skills, and knowledge compared to the average citizen; this conduct will be deemed the practice of law.

Advertisement of counseling services should be present to the public in a manner that provides the counselor’s credentials and a description of the services that are not false or misleading according the ACA Code of Ethics (2005) C.3.a.

Acting as a legal practitioner is considered a “great privilege” and “offers the opportunity to serve the community in a profoundly important way.” Lawyer’s roles as officers of the Court and administrators of justice give them a monopoly on the delivery of counselling and representation services. In order to “maintain their capacity to serve the community” , legal practitioners must accept that they are

America's population is aging, leading to the need for more elder care services. One service most individuals will need at one time or another is legal aid. A person may need assistance with estate planning and administration, guardianship, conservatorship and commitment matters and long term care matters. Attorneys offering elder care services need to ensure individuals needing this type of help know where to turn for assistance and direct mail can be of great help in getting the word out about one's practice.

Each day we are bombarded with advertisements from a plethora of corporations in every waking moment of our lives. Advertising agencies have become so advanced at what they do, that often times we may not even realize we are being advertised a product. This raises an interesting ethical dilemma over a certain type of advertising: persuasive advertising. Philosophers, economists, and business professionals have debated over whether or not persuasive advertising is an immoral violation of the autonomy of consumers. While not all forms of advertising are in and of themselves certainly immoral, persuasive advertising is particularly reprehensible due to the fact that not only does it manipulate our unconscious desires of which we are completely unaware in order to sell a product, but it also routinely leads us to act against our own best interest, thus overriding our autonomy.

Marketing practices in the contemporary western society have been a hotbed of ethical debate for a long time.
