Only Executive Law §135-b is implicated because foreign-language advertising rules preempt all other law.
The conduct may violate Executive Law §135-b and also fit the booklet’s warnings against unauthorized practice of law.
The conduct is permissible if the ad appears only online.
The conduct is harmless so long as the person is commissioned as a notary.
Correct Answer
B. The conduct may violate Executive Law §135-b and also fit the booklet’s warnings against unauthorized practice of law.
AI Explanation
Advertising and unauthorized-practice issues can overlap. Executive Law §135-b prohibits foreign-language terms that imply attorney status and requires the statutory disclaimer, while the booklet’s “Professional Conduct” and Judiciary Law materials warn that a non-lawyer notary may not give legal advice or accept fees for legal advice. Importantly, a notary commission does not create a license to practice law.
