Book Description
Under the Kansas statutes the term "physician" means a person licensed to practice medicine and surgery unless it is defined otherwise. S̲e̲e̲, e̲.̲g̲.̲, K.S.A 65-2869. In addition, when "physician" is used in conjunction with another word, the health care provider is deemed to be one licensed to practice medicine and surgery. S̲e̲e̲ 65-2870; 65-2897a. Chiropractors are specifically prohibited by statute from practicing medicine and surgery. K.S.A. 65-2871. Thus, the term "chiropractic physician" is misleading to the public as it implies that a chiropractor is licensed to practice beyond the scope of the statutory definition of chiropractic. Therefore, it is our opinion that doctors of chiropractic cannot use the term "chiropractic physician."

Book Description
K.S.A. 20-105 provides that to be qualified to hold the office of justice of the supreme court or judge of the court of appeals, a person must have been regularly admitted to practice law in Kansas and have engaged in the active and continuous practice of law for a period of at least ten years prior to the date of appointment as justice or judge. Though the strict definition of "active practice" would require that the legal activities of the person in question be pursued on a full-time basis and constitute his regular business, the general rule that statutory provisions imposing qualifications for office should be construed in favor of those seeking to hold office would serve to soften this requirement. Thus, a potential nominee need not be a full-time trial attorney to be considered as actively engaged in the practice of law, and is not automatically disqualified merely for holding a position which does not require legal expertise. Cited herein: K.S.A. 20-105; 20-3002; K.S.A. 1986 Supp. 22-3707.

Book Description
Since it is the client's intent which governs the distinction between privileged and non-privileged communications, a determination of whether or not information exchanged between attorney and client is privileged requires a case-by-case consideration. To ensure compliance with the dictates of Canon 4 of the Code of Professional Responsibility and K.S.A. 60-426, when a supervising agency requests that an attorney release particular client information for enumerative or evaluative purposes, the attorney may either obtain the client's consent to do so, or, if the client refuses, compile the requested data in a less intrusive manner. If, however, the agency requests the data for purposes of determining a client's financial eligibility onto satisfy funding requirements, the exception to the privilege under DR-4-101(C)(4) would apply, making the aforementioned precautions unnecessary. Cited herein: K.S.A. 45-217; 45-221; 60-426; K.S.A. 1986 Supp. 20-3100, Supreme Court Rule No. 225, D.R. 4-101.
