Legal Question in Civil Litigation in California

Re: can I have the Itnerrogatories mailed to me if I'm representing my brother?

You cannot legally represent your brother in court or any other capacity based on the facts you have described. If you do, you are engaging in the unauthorized practice of law and that is a crime.

Re: can I have the Itnerrogatories mailed to me if I'm representing my brother?

Only a licensed attorney may represent another person in court proceedings. That includes discovery and other parts of the process that take place outside the courtroom. Doing what you describe would be practicing law without a license, which is illegal. That your brother has given you permission does not change this fact.

Re: can I have the Itnerrogatories mailed to me if I'm representing my brother?

If you are not a licensed attorney, you may not represent your brother.

As a point of information, please be advised that �6126 of the California Business & Professions Code specifically prohibits the unauthorized practice of law. The unauthorized practice of law is considered a crime in the State of California.

Therefore, it is suggested that your brother hires a licensed attorney at law to represent him in Court.

Nice try, no brass ring. Unless you are licensed to practice as an attorney in CA, you can not 'represent' anyone in court and litigation matters. Doing so is the illegal practice of law, a crime. The opposing counsel has no obligation to cooperate with you, and will not. They should report to court and authorities your attempt. Your brother could have you prepare papers for him to sign and he could act 'in pro per', at the risk of ruining his case through lack of knowledge and mistakes. If you and he don't know how to effectively litigate his case, seek help from some public service law firms or charities there. Call the local Lawyers Referral Service for help.
