In some countries, it's illegal for someone who isn't a qualified lawyer to pass themself off as one, or to give legal advice. This is, as far as I know, the case in the UK, and probably the USA also. Also, if someone who *is* a qualified lawyer gives legal advice, that can be construed as creating attorney-client privilege, and also opens the lawyer up to legal action if the advice turns out to be bad. -- Benjamin M.
