Clara Client has just been presented with a standard representation agreement by the law firm of Yatz & Berger. Clara's first language is German. Although she speaks and reads everyday English quite well, the legal terms in the contract confuse her. Yatz & Berger should
 
  A) have someone in the firm, if possible, or a translator from outside of the firm, explain the terms of the contract thoroughly until Clara has a full and complete understanding of its terms.
  B) advise Clara to take the contract home and study it before signing it.
  C) have a paralegal explain the most important clauses in the contract to Clara in smaller, plain English words.
  D) advise Clara to sign the contract and take her copy home for study.

Question 2

Sandy Glastor (Paralegal) has joined his family for Thanksgiving. Sandy's grandfather asks a general question (to everyone sitting at the table) about writing a holographic will on letterhead stationery. (Does the printed part of the stationery invalidate the will because the will is not written entirely in the testator's handwriting.) Sandy takes Grandfather's question as a hypothetical and responds to it along with everyone else at the table throwing in their opinions. Later that night, Grandfather rewrites his holographic will on a blank piece of paper based on Sandy's reply to the question. Which of the following is true?
 
  A) Sandy is not guilty of UPL because he gave his answer as generic advice, not specific advice.
  B) Sandy is guilty of UPL because he applied his knowledge of the law to a legal question and gave an answer.
  C) Sandy is not guilty of UPL because he did not know anyone would rely on what he said.
  D) Sandy is guilty of UPL because Grandfather took Sandy's words as legal advice.
