The intersection between evolving technology and the rules against unauthorized practice of law (UPL) has been a hot issue in recent years. For example, last year, a now-defunct company called TIKD was enjoined by the Florida Supreme Court from running an app that provided assistance to drivers with traffic tickets.

Here’s how the app worked: After a user signed an agreement and uploaded pictures of their traffic ticket, the app analyzed the ticket to determine whether the ticket was appropriate for further legal action. If TIKD accepted the ticket, it charged the driver a percentage of the ticket’s value and sent the driver’s information to a licensed attorney with whom TIKD had contracted to provide a defense to TIKD’s customers.
