Multijurisdictional Practice for a Multijurisdictional Profession

The issue of multijurisdictional practice ("MJP") concerns whether, and to what extent, lawyers can practice law in states in which they are not licensed. Under current law in Nebraska and almost every other state, it may be a violation of both the ethics rules and state law for a lawyer not licensed in that state to engage in activity that constitutes the practice of law, even on a temporary basis. This is law that is no longer practical or necessary and Nebraska should now consider modifying it.
