15.1. A student may give legal advice or opinions for others if the student complies with the following conditions:(1) the student is enrolled in a program of study whose diploma is one of the diplomas which combine to give access to the permit issued by the Order or in a graduate program in law if the student obtained such a diploma;
(2) the student performs those acts in a legal clinic established or recognized by a university-level educational institution that grants a diploma that is one of the diplomas which combine to give access to the permit issued by the Order; and
(3) the student performs those acts under the close supervision and responsibility of a notary, excluding a retired notary.
The board of directors must determine, by by-law, from among the regulatory standards applicable to notaries, those standards applicable to students as well as the terms and conditions that apply to the notaries supervising them. The by-law may also prescribe additional terms and conditions according to which students may perform such acts.
The board of directors must consult the Barreau du Québec before adopting a by-law under the second paragraph.
