Are paralegals working for law firms exempt from being charged with the unauthorized practice of law?
Can they legally write contract and court documents, do legal research and use legal citations, write reports for their employers recommending courses of action in legal cases, etc? Are they allowed to do these things because the work with attorneys and not directly with the public?
No.
Writing contracts and doing legal research does not constitute "the practice of law." Anyone can do them, if they have the ability.
But, they cannot recommend legal action. They can write a letter outlining the attorney's position, but the attorney needs to review and sign it. Only a lawyer is allowed to give legal advice.
