Certain law firms and companies have started to require background checks at the abstractor's expense, which I refuse to do.  Why is this necessary all of a sudden, and not 20 years ago?  Also most abstractors in NC that I have come across DON'T have E&O. E&O simply makes someone more "sue-able"-it doesn't fix mistakes.  The important point (of course) is to never make mistakes of any consequence to begin with! (Is that too hard to ask of anyone??) This comes from extensive training and experience in the field.  In terms of "practicing law without a license" via doing abstracting work without the supervision/guidance of an attorney-this has always been the case in NC (so nothing new there).
