RDG

Abbreviation for Rechtsdienstleistungsgesetz

In short and in plain language

The RDG is a German law on legal advice.

It says who may check the legal case of someone else. This is mostly lawyers.

A text on a website can explain a rule in general. It does not check a single case.

Definition
The RDG is the German Legal Services Act. It governs who may provide legal services outside court proceedings, meaning the legal review of a specific case for someone else. General explanations of a rule, for example on a business website, are to be distinguished from this.
