Rule 6-28.2. Definitions

    (a) Adoption Law. “Adoption law” is the practice of law dealing with the complexities and legalities of interstate and intrastate adoption placements, including civil controversies arising from termination of the biological parents' parental rights, the Indian Child Welfare Act, and interstate placements. In addition to the actual adoption placement, “adoption law” includes evaluating, handling, and resolving such controversies prior to the placement of a child for adoption and all post placement proceedings. The practice of adoption law in the state of Florida is generally unique in that decisional, statutory, and procedural laws are specific to this state.

    (b) Practice of Law. “Practice of law” for this area is defined as set forth in rule 6-3.5(c)(1).
