Wash. Admi. And. Prac. R. LPORPC 1.11

Comment

The intent of this rule is to encourage an LPO to report professional misconduct in order to ensure effective self-regulation of LPOs. Examples of misconduct include, but are not limited to use of unapproved forms, unauthorized delegation or performance of LPO duties, use of an LPO's name, signature stamp or identification number by unlicensed persons, or an LPO acting as an LPO while one's license is inactive or suspended. If an LPO knows of the unauthorized practice of law by someone other than an LPO, the LPO should report the person to the Practice of Law Board (GR 25).
