Under Unauthorized Practice of Law, which statement is true?

• A. A person may practice law in a jurisdiction where they are not licensed.
• B. A person may not practice law in a jurisdiction where they are licensed.
• C. A person may not practice law in a jurisdiction where they are not licensed.
• D. A person may aid a non-lawyer in the unauthorized practice of law.

Answer: (C)

Unauthorized Practice of Law centers on licensure in the jurisdiction where the work is being done. You may practice law there only if you are licensed in that jurisdiction; otherwise, performing legal services without that license is not allowed. That makes the statement true: a person may not practice law in a jurisdiction where they are not licensed.

The other ideas conflict with this core rule. It would be allowed to practice in a place where you’re not licensed, which is incorrect; it would be prohibited to practice in a place where you are licensed only if your license is invalid or suspended, which is not the point here; and while aiding someone else in UPL is improper, the fundamental prohibition is practicing without a license.
