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.

A city ordinance which purports to authorize "independent contractors" to exercise the sovereign power of the city is contrary to statewide public policy, and is void. However, individuals who act as city attorney and municipal judge, under such an ordinance, are d̲e̲ f̲a̲c̲t̲o̲ officers of the city, and their acts are valid insofar as they involve the public and third parties. Additionally, the legal and judicial services provided by said individuals constitute "employment," as said term is defined in the Old Age and Survivors Insurance Act, and social security contributions are payable by the city with respect to remuneration paid for such services. Cited herein: K.S.A. 40-2301, 40-2302, 40-2305, 60-1205, L. 1983, ch. 157, section 1, Kan. Const., Art. 9, section 5.
