Section 484 creates only a civil penalty, while §485 defines the same conduct as a class E felony.
Section 484 defines certain unauthorized practice, §485 makes violation a misdemeanor, and §750 allows the supreme court to punish unlawful practice as criminal contempt.
Section 484 applies only to court appearances and never to drafting documents.
Section 750 replaces §485 so that no misdemeanor charge may be brought.
Correct Answer
B. Section 484 defines certain unauthorized practice, §485 makes violation a misdemeanor, and §750 allows the supreme court to punish unlawful practice as criminal contempt.
AI Explanation
These sections work together rather than canceling one another. Judiciary Law §484 identifies prohibited unauthorized-practice conduct, §485 says violation is a misdemeanor, and §750 gives the supreme court power to punish unlawful practice as criminal contempt. For contrast, §750 supplements the statutory misdemeanor framework; it does not erase it.
