Medical-legal reports signed by the appointed physician may also be signed by a second or third physician who participated in the evaluation’s procedures. If the law has intended to have a single physician conduct a medical-legal evaluation, the use of the “team approach” may constitute a violation of the law and by itself question the substantiality and admissibility of the doctors’ report. At the very least, the “team approach” makes it difficult to decide who to contact and who to depose in the event that there is some ambiguity in the evaluative report.
