Multistate Professional Responsibility Exam Practice Question
A lawyer recently resigned from a position as an administrative attorney at a federal regulatory body. A former client of that body seeks representation in a lawsuit challenging a regulation the lawyer worked on during their tenure. What is the MOST appropriate action for the lawyer according to professional responsibility rules?
Represent the client considering the lawyer's current and past affiliations with the regulatory body.
Represent the client if they obtain informed consent from the former regulatory body.
Decline the representation due to conflicts of interest arising from the lawyer's former government service.
Take on the case but refrain from using information obtained during the lawyer's time at the regulatory body.
Declining representation is the correct action because representing a client in a matter directly related to the lawyer's former government service can create a conflict of interest. The lawyer's prior involvement with the regulatory body may compromise their ability to provide impartial representation.
