To be charitable, people can “be lawyers” for themselves without a license and a lot of Kilam’s materials seem aimed at personal finance tasks — setting up trusts, challenging debt collectors, and so on.

BUT that’s not the same as telling people that they don’t need licenses to practice law or quibbling about distinctions between lawyers and attorneys.
