Limited License Legal Technicians

The State of Washington will be allowing them to represent clients and provide legal advice in certain areas of the law. The LLLT Board began its work in January 2013. As one of its first actions, the Board recommended family law as the first practice area in which to license LLLTs, which the Supreme Court unanimously approved in March 2013. The LLLT Board is expected to begin accepting applications for the licensing examination in March 2015 and begin licensing of LLLTs in Spring 2015
