I guess times have changed :-)
My TN papers included a notarized copy of my Ph.D., my transcript, and a letter that I prepared on university letterhead that my chairmen signed for me. The letter had to have certain specific keywords in it, but other than that, there were no lawyers involved in the process.
I did this for about 5 years from 2000-2005. Each time it was a 12 month admission.
