Title research can be done by any homeowner on his own land by getting into a car and going to the Records office.  The exercise of a right, being converted by shysters in suits into a licensed profession, cannot occur when it's a fundamental right.  The idea that my neighbor is violating the law by searching public records is absurd.

You talk about logic, but you don't use it yourself. 

Sure, it would be absurd if an individual could not search the public record on their own land, or even the land of others, for their own purposes. But of course, there's no debate that title searching in that sense-- an indivindual searching title for themself-- is the unauthorized practice of law.  I think that Robert's blog I linked to made it clear that only title searching as a professional endeavor, where the search was provided to someone else, would be in any danger of being considered the unauthroized practicice of law.  He even pointed out that non-lawyer employees of title companies who did title searches would likely be in no danger of being considered to be engaged in the unauthorized practice of law. 

It seems ironic that someone such as yourself, who is such a stickler for the law in other instances, would be so glib about the legal implications of his own profession.
