However, in many situations, the lawyer, after studying the statutes and the court decisions that are applicable, can only give his best judgment as to what a court would hold the law to be as applied to the particular set of facts presented to him. TIS extended new policy, warning Law is not an exact science Many people have the impression that a lawyer can tell them with finality what the law is in any and every situation. Few realize that in many instances the lawyer, like the doctor, can only give his expert opinion on the state of the law as applied to a particular set of facts. " ing went into effect How does a lawyer learn how to advise clients on legal questions? First, he must have had six or seven years of academic education. In most cases this means four years of college work, followed by three years in a rec- gal principles, of processes of legal reasoning, or methods of fact and legal investigation, and of court procedures which bring relief to clients.

ALMOST EVERY problem presented to a lawyer requires research in the statutes and law bodes before a proper answer can be given. Therefore, you will not receive an immediate answer to your problem from your lawyer, unless it is of the most elemental type. Your lawyer should, and you should give him time to, form his opinions from the authoritative statutes and decisions. You should also understand that, due to the constant fluctuations in our laws, he will sometimes be able to give you an unformed opinion, rather than an absolute statement of the law applicable to your situation.

Nonavailability Statements (DD Form 1251) will no longer be issued routinely to expectant mothers who wish to deliver in civilian facilities using the method known as natural childbirth." Officials of CHAMPUS the Civilian Health and Medical Program of the Uniformed Services note that the natural childbirth method is now used when requested in some uniformed services medical facilities. Therefore, the decision to issue a Nonavailability. Statement will be based upon the actual nonavailability of the natural childbirth method in the uniformed service facility issuing the statement. CHAMPUS officials add that only dependents of active duty personnel residing with their sponsor within 30 miles of a uniformed services hospital must obtain a Nonavailability Statement before receiving inpatient care under CHAMPUS. Dependents who are separated from their active duty sponsor, living more than 30 miles from a uniformed services hospital, or living in Iowa, Minnesota, Oregon, Vermont, West Virginia or Wisconsin have free choice between CHAMPUS and care in a uniformed services facility,' as do retirees, their dependents and dependents of deceased members. for first-ter- m , reenlistments The DTC Deseret Sampler Published as a civilian enterprise newaper in the of personnel of the Deseret Test Center, Ft.
