State Definitions of the Practice of Law Idaho
State Bar v. Villegas, 879 P.2d 1124 (Idaho 1994)
'The doing or performing services in a court of justice, in any matter depending [sic] therein, throughout its various stages, and in conformity with adopted rules of procedure. But in a larger sense, it includes legal advice and counsel, and the preparation of instruments and contracts by which legal rights are secured, although such matter may or may not be depending [sic] in a court.' Idaho State Bar v. Meservy, 80 Idaho 504, 508, 335 P.2d 62, 65 (1959) (emphasis in original) (quoting In re Matthews, 57 Idaho 75, 83, 62 P.2d 578, 584 (1936)). Idaho Idaho Code § 3-401 states that the practice of law is a privilege granted by the state and not a right of the individual. This section goes on to say that “the public shall be properly protected against the unprofessional, improper and unauthorized practice of law. . . .” To this end, Idaho Code § 3-420 provides misdemeanor criminal penalties for the unauthorized practice of law.
