A Temple University law professor who is not licensed in New Jersey but had a significant role in a Middlesex County medical malpractice suit engaged in the unauthorized practice of law, a committee of the New Jersey Supreme Court ruled.

Opinion 60, from the court’s Committee on the Unauthorized Practice of Law, represents an about-face from a July 2021 Appellate Division published ruling finding the law professor, Frank McClellan, did not engage in the unauthorized practice of law.
