proRo class 12

cromley p. 294






















you can't drop like a hot potato. 

"removing conflicts from a former firm" p. 301

class conversation

...

just as there is a parallel imputed rule of imputation for successive conflicts of interest,
so is there a rule of imputation for rule 1.11 conflicts, rule 1.11(b)

government service: "investigating landlords"
can the lawyer represent another landlord? can the lawyer represent a tenant?

confidential information about pan-am that can be used to libya's advantage, then there's a 1.11(c) issue...

is that technical analysis fair?

was it wrong to have represented libya in this matter?
if you do, is it because he was the former sec of state?


lawyers have to use other criteria to decide what pro bono work they will dedicate themselves to.
pick one that enhances your prestige and reputation, or that of your firm.
why not hold people to their choices?

pieces by j. rifkin and j. frankel p. 319
