Providing legal advice to another person constitutes the practice of law. The Colorado Supreme Court has defined the practice of law as acting in a representative capacity in protecting, enforcing or defending the legal rights and duties of another and in counseling, advising and assisting [another] in connection with these rights and duties. The selection and drafting of legal documents for another’s use involves the giving of legal advice; thus, such conduct is also considered the practice of law.
Under the Colorado Supreme Court’s explanation of the term “practice of law,” a non-lawyer generally cannot:
1) Provide legal advice to another person;
2) Select legal documents on behalf of another person (unless under the direction
and supervision of a licensed attorney);
3) Draft legal documents on behalf of another person (unless under the direction and
supervision of a licensed attorney);
4) Interpret the law as it may apply to another person’s situation;
5) Represent another individual in any legal transaction or matter; or
6) Prepare a matter for trial (unless under the direction and supervision of an
attorney).
