A quick definition of multidisciplinary practice:

Term: Multidisciplinary Practice

Definition: A group of people, including lawyers and non-lawyers, who work together in a company that provides both legal and non-legal services. However, according to Rule 5.4 of the Model Rules of Professional Conduct, lawyers are not allowed to share legal fees with non-lawyers, form a partnership with non-lawyers, or allow non-lawyers to influence their professional judgment. Therefore, multidisciplinary practice is currently not allowed.

A more thorough explanation:

Multidisciplinary practice refers to a type of law firm that offers both legal and non-legal services. This type of firm is made up of lawyers and non-lawyers who work together to provide a range of services to clients.

However, according to Rule 5.4 of the Model Rules of Professional Conduct, lawyers are not allowed to share legal fees with non-lawyers, form a partnership with non-lawyers that involves the practice of law, or allow non-lawyers to direct their professional judgment. This effectively bars multidisciplinary practice.

For example, a multidisciplinary practice might include lawyers, accountants, and financial advisors who work together to provide legal, accounting, and financial services to clients. However, under the current rules, these professionals would not be able to share fees or form a partnership that involves the practice of law.

@ClockworkBlue: god I hope that's true
if the country was run the same as Mich Law it would be a better place
Imagine if election night was run by an adcom? Like, "yep, we could get the results Friday, or June 2025."
imagine if it was like Berkley applications

I have no idea why people have so much beef w berkeley's app
I've been reading a bit about "herding," which is this idea that pollsters are making the race look tied so they look right no matter who wins.

Like... it's a more involved app but you don't have to do it? They're clearly trying to have some self-selection go on
I 100% agree with the self selection, I also am not even close to touching the medians there. However I think the huge PS plus the video and especially the very specific criteria for the why Berkeley essay is pretty crazy
I'm curious, how bold can one be in those videos? Is it worth making a satirical Jason Statham-action short if the adcoms have no sense of humor?
the more risk you take the higher chance of it backfiring
my instinct would be low humor bc if they have such a complex application I would feel hesitant to use a major part of it as a joke. They clearly take their admissions seriously and a joke video might convey the wrong thing at the wrong time. I think that humor is best put into a PS anecdote where it adds some shine to your personality
safe is always better
All good points
