Sec. 727.12  Communications.

    (a) Legal assistance officers are authorized to communicate directly 
with the Judge Advocate General, with each other, and with other 
appropriate organizations and persons concerning legal assistance 
matters.
    (b) The use of a legal assistance office letterhead within the 
Department of the Navy is authorized as an exception to the standard 
letterhead requirements contained in Department of Defense Instructions. 
Naval Legal Service Offices and other commands having authorized legal 
assistance officers are authorized to print and use letterheads without 
seal or official command designation in those matters in which the 
correspondence pertains solely to legal assistance matters. Legal 
assistance officers are directed to ensure that their correspondence 
does not imply United States Navy or command sponsorship or approval of 
the substance of the correspondence. Such correspondence is considered a 
private matter arising from the attorney-client relationship as 
indicated in Sec. 727.8.
