    The Board for Nonlawyer Legal Service Providers (NLSP) seeks to make Administrative Order 2022-175 permanent by amending Supreme Court Rule 39 pertaining to the Temporary Practice of Law.

    Pursuant to Arizona Supreme Court Rule 28, this petition will temporarily authorize the certification of Legal Paraprofessional (LP) students as limited practice students in law school clinics. As with the JD degree, this petition will enable LP students to provide legal advice withing the scope of their LP practice area under the supervision of an attorney. The University of Arizona James E Rogers College of Law offers three clinical opportunities for LP students: Education Advocacy, Family Law, and Juvenile Law. As of September 2024, 26 students have been enrolled and 7 certified. Arizona State University’s Sandra Day O’Connor College of Law offers ten clinical opportunities and intends to offer them to LP students in 2025.

    The Arizona Judicial Council supported incorporated the AO’s terms into the court rule at its 10/24/2024 meeting. The NLSP Board approved this petition at its December 18, 2024 meeting.

    Filed: December 27, 2024

    Would amend Rule 39 of the Rules of the Supreme Court of Arizona to authorize the certification of Legal Paraprofessional (LP) students as limited practice students in law school clinics.
