It is apparent that Law Practice involves in a representative capacity appearing as an advocate or drawing up papers, pleadings or documents, or performing any act in connection with proceedings before a court or body, board, committee, commission or officers constituted by law or having authority to take evidence in or settle or determine controversies in the exercise of the judicial power of the state or any subdivision thereof. It is also part of a lawyers’ vocation to render expert opinions on matters of law and to be engaged as a consultant by public or private bodies to render professional services including drafting of legal or administrative documents, statutes, regulations, etc.
