to, case planning, development, and management; legal research; interviewing clients; fact

gathering and retrieving information; drafting and analyzing legal documents; collecting,

compiling, and utilizing technical information to make an independent decision and

recommendation to the supervising attorney; and representing clients before a state or federal

administrative agency if that representation is permitted by statute, court rule, or administrative

rule or regulation.
