Can the American Bar Association dig up medical records?

Question

Can the American Bar Association dig up medical records?

Answer 1

Since they are a bunch of lawyers, I suppose they would find a loophole that would allow them to.  

Answer 2

No. Medical records are generally available only with a signed release, court order or subpoena.  The ABA does not normally do such things.  Individual lawyers, however, can.

Answer 3

In what context?  The American Bar Association is an entirely voluntary professional organization for lawyers, not a body with any kind of regulatory authority, so I have difficulty thinking of any justification they would have for obtaining private medical records...or why they would want to.

Answer 4

Lawyers can dig up medical records, so yes.
