In California, does the statute say what « practicing law » means?
Answered for: California
6125. No person shall practice law in California unless the person is an active licensee of the State Bar.
The California section states the prohibition in one sentence and stops there: nothing in the quoted text defines what practising law means. Where that definition does come from is not answered by this section, and this page does not answer it.
This answer is true in California and nowhere else on this site. Another jurisdiction is another answer, or an honest gap: see what has been read for California.
