App. 2d No. 2 (Cumulative for Advance Sheets 1 and 2) Subjects in this Advance Sheet marked with * PAGE APPEAL AND ERROR: Challenge to Criminal History—Illegal Sentence Can be Corrected Any Time. A criminal defendant can challenge his or her criminal history for the first time on appeal because the misclassification of a prior conviction results in an il- legal sentence that can be corrected at any time. State v. Rankin …………… 60 — Unconstitutional Statute Not Used for Criminal History Scoring. Prior con- victions of a crime defined by a statute that has since been determined unconstitu- tional by an appellate court shall not be used for criminal history scoring purposes. State v. Rankin …………………………………………………………..…...60 Direct Appeal of Criminal Defendant—Change in Law Applicable. A crimi- nal defendant will receive the benefit of any change in the law that occurs while the defendant's direct appeal is pending. State v. Rankin ……………..……… 60 ATTORNEY AND CLIENT: Unauthorized Practice of Law Prohibited—Protection of Public. Pro- hibiting the unauthorized practice of law protects the public. A party may be bound by his legal representative. When that representative is a licensed attorney the public reasonably expects that the representative's character, knowledge, and training are equal to the responsibility. And if that expec- tation is not met, then remedies and sanctions are available against a lawyer that are not available against a nonlawyer, including misconduct sanctions and malpractice actions. Schaake v. City of Lawrence ………..……….. 88* ATTORNEY FEES: Specific Authorization for Attorney Fees by Statute for Award. In or- der to give a court the ability to award attorney fees, a statute must specifi- cally authorize recovery of attorney
