Last month, the North Carolina Business Court entered a Consent Judgment in litigation between the North Carolina State Bar and LegalZoom.com. (LegalZoom filed that lawsuit seeking a declaratory judgment that it is not engaged in the unauthorized practice of law (in violation of the NC General Statutes); the State Bar filed a counterclaim alleging that LegalZoom’s activities constituted the unauthorized practice of law.) You may find the State’s Bar summary here and the consent judgment here.
