| Defense counsel in a workers' compensation proceeding may prepare a doctor's medical report on the hospital's letterhead as long as "the content of the lawyer-composed medical report . . . honestly . . . capture[s] the testimony that the physician wishes to present (as opposed to lawyer-created testimony that the lawyer wishes to present irrespective of the physician's own testimony) and [is] reviewed, adopted and signed by the physician voluntarily." [Superseded in LEO 1803, which held that the existence of an attorney client relationship depends on the lawyer's action rather than a mere title, and holding that the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]. |
