This case has been cited 12 times or more.

	AC. No. 5377 2014-06-30	VICTOR C. LINGAN v. ATTYS. ROMEO CALUBAQUIB LEONEN, J.
Practice of law is "any activity, in or out of court, which requires the application of law, legal procedure, knowledge, training and experience."[57] It includes "[performing] acts which are characteristics of the [legal] profession"[58] or "[rendering any kind of] service [which] requires the use in any degree of legal knowledge or skill."[59]
	GR No. 183952 2013-09-09	CZARINA T. MALVAR v. KRAFT FOOD PHILS. BERSAMIN, J.
Malvar should accept that the practice of law was not limited to the conduct of cases or litigations in court but embraced also the preparation of pleadings and other papers incidental to the cases or litigations as well as the management of such actions and proceedings on behalf of the clients.[48] Consequently, fairness and justice demand that the Intervenor be accorded full recognition as her counsel who discharged its responsibility for Malvar's cause to its successful end.
	AM No. 10-10-4-SC 2011-03-08	UP LAW FACULTY'S STATEMENT ON PLAGIARISM ALLEGATIONS LEONARDO-DE CASTRO, J.
It would do well for the Court to remind respondents that, in view of the broad definition in Cayetano v. Monsod,[134] lawyers when they teach law are considered engaged in the practice of law. Unlike professors in other disciplines and more than lawyers who do not teach law, respondents are bound by their oath to uphold the ethical standards of the legal profession. Thus, their actions as law professors must be measured against the same canons of professional responsibility applicable to acts of members of the Bar as the fact of their being law professors is inextricably entwined with the fact that they are lawyers.
	AM No. 10-5-7-SC 2010-12-07	JOVITO S. OLAZO v. JUSTICE DANTE O. TINGA BRION, J.
In Cayetano v. Monsod,[28] we defined the practice of law as any activity, in and out of court, that requires the application of law, legal procedure, knowledge, training and experience. Moreover, we ruled that to engage in the practice of law is to perform those acts which are characteristics of the profession; to practice law is to give notice or render any kind of service, which device or service requires the use in any degree of legal knowledge or skill.
	GR No. 176278 2010-06-25	ALAN F. PAGUIA v. OFFICE OF PRESIDENT CARPIO, J.
Second. An incapacity to bring legal actions peculiar to petitioner also obtains. Petitioner's suspension from the practice of law bars him from performing "any activity, in or out of court, which requires the application of law, legal procedure, knowledge, training and experience."[10] Certainly, preparing a petition raising carefully crafted arguments on equal protection grounds and employing highly legalistic rules of statutory construction to parse Section 23 of RA 7157 falls within the proscribed conduct.
	AM No. 08-6-352-RTC 2009-08-19	QUERY OF ATTY. KAREN M. SILVERIO-BUFFE BRION, J.
In both the above discussed aspect of R.A. No. 6713 and the quoted Canon 3, the practice of law is covered; the practice of law is a practice of profession, while Canon 3 specifically mentions any outside employment requiring the practice of law. In Cayetano v. Monsod,[16] we defined the practice of law as any activity, in and out of court, that requires the application of law, legal procedure, knowledge, training and experience. Moreover, we ruled that to engage in the practice of law is to perform those acts which are characteristics of the profession; to practice law is to give notice or render any kind of service, which device or service requires the use in any degree of legal knowledge or skill.[17] Under both provisions, a common objective is to avoid any conflict of interest on the part of the employee who may wittingly or unwittingly use confidential information acquired from his employment, or use his or her familiarity with court personnel still with the previous office.
	AM NO. CA-05-19-P 2006-08-31	ATTY. VICTORIANO S. MURING v. ATTY. MANUEL T. GATCHO CARPIO, J.
To engage in the practice of law is to perform those acts which are characteristic of the profession. Generally, to practice law is to give notice or render any kind of service, which device or service requires the use in any degree of legal knowledge or skill.[37]
	AC. NO. 6705 2006-03-31	RUTHIE LIM-SANTIAGO v. ATTY. CARLOS B. SAGUCIO CARPIO, J.
x x x any activity, in or out of court, which requires the application of law, legal procedure, knowledge, training and experience. "To engage in the practice of law is to perform those acts which are characteristics of the profession. Generally, to practice law is to give notice or render any kind of service, which device or service requires the use in any degree of legal knowledge or skill."[51]
	AC. NO. 6585 2005-04-21	TOMAS B. YUMOL v. ATTY. ROBERTO R. FERRER CHICO-NAZARIO, J.
Practice of law has a settled meaning. It refers to any activity, in or out of court, which requires the application of law, legal procedure, knowledge, training and experience. "To engage in the practice of law is to perform those acts which are characteristics of the profession. Generally, to practice law is to give notice or render any kind of service, which device or service requires the use in any degree of legal knowledge or skill."[57] Thus, as correctly pointed out by complainants, the belated authority granted to respondent cannot be made to retroact to the notarized documents dated prior thereto.
