Neither the North Carolina Bar Association nor the NCBA Paralegal Division has taken an official position on this issue.
On Jan. 22, 2021, the North Carolina Justice for All Project (NCJ4AP) team submitted a proposal to the North Carolina State Bar and the North Carolina Supreme Court seeking changes to N.C.G.S. § 84 (Unauthorized Practice of Law) to allow unlicensed law school graduates and qualified paralegals to provide limited legal services to low- and moderate-income North Carolinians. The proposal contemplates completion of certain requirements (e.g., examination, certification, education, experience) prior to licensing.

When I first started working from home ten years ago, I really wasn’t sure what exactly that was going to look like. Quite often, when people found out that I worked from home, the response was usually something along the lines of, “Oh, must be nice, going to work in your pajamas and doing whatever you want whenever you want to.” And they had a point. As a contractor (instead of an employee), I have complete control over my schedule, meaning that I don’t have to take time off for appointments or to be in court for one of my Guardian ad Litem cases; I just have to let my attorney client know by blocking out the time on the office calendar.
