Lawyers can't represent clients when they have a conflict of interest. For example, an attorney could not sue someone he had previously represented if his previous representation gave him information that would lead to an unfair advantage or the appearance of one. This is where the ethical issues began to arise lawyers in the same firm typically can't represent clients with opposing interests.

In some states UPL is not only criminalized in itself, but another charge of falsely claiming to be a lawyer even thought this is not how the paralegal intended the situation to turn out. In the innocence of trying to help out a friend by sharing their legal know how, they in turn can be persecuted, lose their jobs or even their careers. Any person of the public can put in their opinion about a legal situation, or tell a person what they think they should do and it would not be considered unauthorized practice of law. However, when a person is a paralegal, any spoken or written opinion about what a person should do in a legal situation can be considered UPL.

He said that he has a revolver at his office and a shotgun at home because he was scared of threats. He said “the FBI investigated threats against my life,” and “My family had armed guards for 2 ½ years”(Jones) . In “To Kill a Mockingbird” by Harper Lee, we can see the threats come in when a lawyer, Atticus, takes on a case involving a black man in the racist
