Sec. 92.82  Recommending attorneys or notaries.

    (a) Assistance in selecting American lawyers. When any person in the 
district of a Foreign Service post desires to have the name of an 
attorney in the United States, the officer at the post may refer him to 
American law directories or other published references at his disposal, 
but he shall refrain from recommending any particular attorney.
    (b) Assistance in selecting foreign attorneys or notaries. Persons 
applying to a Foreign Service post for services of a legal or fiduciary 
character or for assistance in selecting an attorney or notary capable 
of rendering the services in view, may be furnished the names of several 
attorneys or notaries in the district, or referred to the lists to be 
found in American or foreign law directories or other published 
references. Alternatively, they may be referred to bar associations or, 
where applicable, to the organization charged by local law with the 
responsibility for providing legal assistance.
    (c) Agreements for referral of legal business prohibited. Officers 
of the Foreign Service shall not recommend particular attorneys or 
notaries to persons who apply to a Foreign Service post for legal 
assistance, nor shall they make agreements with attorneys or notaries 
for the referral to them of inquiries for legal assistance.
