title: Writing medicolegal reports: what every doctor should know.
abstract: Medicolegal reports have become a regular part of every doctor's professional life. Like any consultation they are statements of carefully considered clinical judgment, which may ultimately have to be backed up by appearances in court. Objectivity, balance and an understanding of the needs of the process are therefore vital.
