#LegalEthics Tidbit: Do I have standing to seek an injunction against the unauthorized practice of law?
Yes. Per M.G.L. 221, 46B, standing to petition to enjoin the unauthorized practice of law in MA belongs to the AG, a DA, a bar assoc., or any “three or more members of the bar.” The three-members clause appears to have been used most recently in 1938 in an attempt to enjoin a legal advice-themed radio show: “Court of Common Troubles” (299 Mass. 286).
