Question

Client g is sitting in the lobby of the law firm of gribbens & blotts. she turns to the receptionist and says "i'm going to court with mr. gribbens tomorrow. do you think these high heels are appropriate?" the receptionist looks at g's shoes and replies "i think they are perfectly fine." has the receptionist committed upl?

Answer 1

The answer is "No, because G was not asking for, nor did the receptionist give, legal advice."

Legal advice alludes to the composed or oral insight about a legitimate issue that would influence the rights and duties of the individual getting the counsel. Likewise, legal advice counsel requires cautious investigation of the law as it applies to a man's particular circumstance - rather than theory in light of generic facts. So, in the given scenario, the representative did not give the legal advice to client g.
