	Practice of law - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In its most general sense, the practice of law involves giving legal advice to clients, drafting legal documents for clients, and representing clients in legal negotiations and court proceedings such as lawsuits, and is applied to the professional services of a lawyer or Attorney at Law, barrister, solicitor or civil law notary.
		In the United States, the practice of law is conditioned upon admission to the bar of a particular state or other territorial jurisdiction.
		The American Bar Association and the American Law Institute are among the organizations that are concerned with the interests of lawyers as a profession and the promulgation of uniform standards of professionalism and ethics, but regulation of the practice of law is left to the individual states.

	MBA: Proposal on the definition of the practice of law in Massachusetts (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)

		Thus, for a person's conduct to be considered the practice of law, there must be another person for whom the benefit of that conduct is directed, and there must be a relationship of trust and confidence created for the purpose of legal advice.
