Seems another state is wrestling with the issue of whether non-lawyers can provide legal advice to folks without lawyers. In a case recently filed in South Carolina, the local conference of the NAACP and others sued seeking to enjoin state officials from interfering with a program to train and deploy lay advocates who would help low-income renters facing eviction in housing court, claiming protection under the Constitutional rights of free speech and association. This follows a similar suit filed last year in New York seeking similar relief in a program where an entity called UpSolve would train law providers of legal advice in housing cases. The New York NAACP filed a brief in support. A temporary injunction was entered, though it was appealed to the Second Circuit by the state and remains pending.
