Re: Executive JD
Posted by executive JD L1 on 12/05/07

    Dear Mr. Prairie Dawg: What state do you live and practice in,
    the attorneys don't have any say in what a "licensed legal document
    preparers" does. Notary Publics are licensed by the Dept. of State
    and the many State Supreme Courts license/certify Mediators. What I
    plan on doing is on the up and up and 100% legal. It is
    not "unlicensed law practice". No passing of the bar exam is needed
    for any of the activities I mention. If you think I'm mistaken, do
    some research and find out for yourself. PS. Have a nice day.
