How later courts describe this case
- noting that “the publication of a multitude of forms for all manner of legal situations is a commonplace activity”
- finding that “the publication of a legal text which purported to say what the law is ... and that the conjoining of the text and the forms with advice as to how the forms should be filled out does not constitute the unauthorized practice of law.”
