ARCHITECTS RECOGNIZE LEGAL NOTICES AS A MATTER FOR LAWYERS Set forth below Is a paragraph taken from the Addenda, the publication of the Iowa Chapter of the American Institute of Archi- tects, which Is thought will be of interest to members of the Association: It has been called to the attention of the chapter that the drawing of legal notices for purposes of publication in newspapers by client-owners Is a matter strictly for the client's attorney. While the practice is not universal, some Iowa Chapter members have been preparing these notices and furnishing them to clients with the admonition that the client should have his attorney review It be- fore publication. The Committee on Unauthor- ized Practice of the Iowa State Bar Associa- tion has requested that our members should adopt the policy of refusing to draft such notices, leaving it strictly to the client and his own attorney. The Executive Committee has reviewed this request and has authorized adoption of the policy as requested by the Iowa State Bar Association Committee.
