| A city attorney acting as a "scrivener" for citizens preparing proposed ordinances to be considered by a city council might be deemed to be acting as a lawyer for the group if the lawyer's services created the "expectation" of such a relationship in the minds of the citizens. [Superseded in LEO 1803, which held that the existence of an attorney client relationship depends on the lawyer's action rather than a mere title, and holding that the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].
