Which ethical rule(s) did Paralegal Samantha breach by discussing confidential client information in a public area?

Yes, and it's banned in all states
Allowed in some states
Encouraged by NALA
(a) and (c) only

The correct answer is: Yes, and it's banned in all states

Selling 'do-it-yourself' legal kits and offering typing assistance by paralegals can be considered unauthorized practice of law (UPL) and is banned in all states for a good reason. The practice of law requires a license and extensive training in order to provide competent and ethical legal advice and assistance to clients. Paralegals may assist attorneys with legal tasks, but they are not legally permitted to offer legal advice or services without supervision. Selling legal kits and offering typing assistance may mislead individuals into thinking they are receiving qualified legal assistance and can harm the legal system by causing false expectations and potential errors. Therefore, it is important to consult with a licensed attorney for any legal matters to ensure the protection of both the client and the integrity of the legal profession.
