| Legal services organization lawyers may give forms to pro se litigants without violating any prohibitions on “ghost-writing” as long as the lawyers do not assist the pro se` litigants in completing the forms; analogizing the situation to the distinction in the UPL analysis between providing forms and helping complete them. [Superseded in LEO 1803, which held that the existence of an attorney client relationship depends on the lawyer's action rather than a mere title, and holding that the attorney client relationship would arise between prisoners and lawyers practicing at a state prison if the lawyers did anything more than simply typing up what the prisoner wrote]. [overruled to the extent it is inconsistent with LEO 1874 (7/28/14), which explained that the ethics rules do not prohibit undisclosed assistance to a pro se litigant, but some courts forbid it] |
