Why should you care about multijurisdictional practice?
You might want to practice in state where you a not licensed. You might want to affiliate with an out-of-state lawyer in a state where you are licensed. Recognize UPL committed by out-of-state colleagues while at the same time avoiding unfair harassment when their practice is authorized. Violating Rule 5.5 might lead to criminal charges in addition to ethics charges. For example, a state’s UPL law might say that its supreme court determines authorized practice within a jurisdiction. One way a state might define this is through Rule 5.5. Bottom line, violating this rule might lead to consequences more serious than disbarment; it could lead to criminal prosecution.
