705.06 Reviewing and Signing of Letters

The name, law office, telephone number, and e-mail address of the examining attorney who prepares the action will appear at the bottom of the action.

The examining attorney must review and sign the action. If the examining attorney does not have signatory authority, he or she should sign the action and refer it to the authorized signatory examining attorney, who will review and approve the action. Review by a reviewer should ordinarily be done within one working day after receipt from the non-signatory examining attorney.
