NACBA has filed an amicus brief in Olsen v. Mukasey, the 9th Circuit appeal of a district court decision holding section 526(a)(4)'s prohibition of legal advice to be unconstitutional. The brief argues that attorneys are not debt relief agencies, that the district court was correct in holding section 526(a)(4) unconstitutional, and that the district court erred in upholding the advertising requirements of the debt relief agency provisions.
