The Supreme Court ruled that The Legal Clinic was engaged in the practice of law through its services like legal documentation and litigation, which can only be performed by licensed lawyers, not paralegals.

While lawyers can advertise through reputable law lists, business cards, and phone directories, the Code of Professional Responsibility prohibits advertisements that promote lawyers' talents or skills like merchants advertising goods or use misleading or unfair statements.
