| Lawyers may be shareholders of a corporation providing mediation and arbitration services, but the lawyers must comply with the ethics code. Among other things, a mediator "engaged by the parties as a scrivener of the agreement reached during the mediation process" is not engaged in the practice of law, but any services "beyond those of a scrivener" might constitute the practice of law [superseded in LEO 1803, which held that the existence of an attorney client relationship depends on the lawyer's action rather than a mere title, and holding that the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]. |
