11 When District Attorney Holcombe told Armani in the judge s presence that he had ordered an investigation to see if criminal charges can be brought due to Armani s keeping secret what he knew about the fate of Petz and Hauck (see Case Study Vol I pp ), could Armani have disclosed at that point that Garrow had told him about the dead bodies in order to negotiate a possible insanity plea?
12 F. If GRPC 1.6 had applied to Armani, disclosure of that information would have been: 1. PROHIBITED because Garrow had not consented to disclosing this information to the judge. 2. PROHIBITED because criminal charges had not yet been brought. 3. PERMITTED to the extent necessary to defend himself against Holcombe s accusation. 4. PROHIBITED because disclosure of this information would be embarrassing to Garrow. 0% 0% 0% 0%

PROHIBITED because disclosure of this information would be embarrassing to Garrow.
14 [The following is based on an actual Sample Multistate Professional Responsibility Examination.] Assume that the current ABA Model Rule 1.6 applies. An attorney represents a client who is under indictment for homicide. In the course of representation, the client told the attorney that she had previously killed two other people. These murders are completely unrelated to the murder indictment for which the attorney is providing representation. With the client s consent, the attorney made a tape recording of the client s confession regarding the unrelated homicides. At the attorney s request, the client also drew a map of the remote locations of the victim s graves from the unrelated killings. These bodies have not been found by the police, and the client is not a suspect in either crime, both of which remain unsolved.
15 G. Is the attorney subject to discipline if he fails to voluntarily disclose to the authorities the locations of the victims bodies? 1. Yes, because as an officer of the court, the attorney must disclose any knowledge concerning the commission of prior crimes by his client. 2. Yes, because the attorney is impeding the state s access to significant evidence. 3. No, because the attorney did not represent or advise the client with respect to these prior crimes. 4. No, because the information was related to the attorney s representation of the client under the current indictment. 0% 0% 0% 0%

Yes, because the attorney is impeding the state s access to significant evidence. 3. No, because the attorney did not represent or advise the client with respect to these prior crimes. Wrong, still information gained in the professional relationship, 1.6(a) 4. No, because the information was related to the attorney s representation of the client under the current indictment. Correct. For why 1 and 2 are wrong, see generally N.Y. State Bar Opinion No. 479 (1978)(rejecting disciplinary complaint against Armani)

37 REVIEW QUESTIONS ON CONFLICTS BETWEEN FORMER AND CURRENT CLIENTS AND THE SPECIAL PROBLEMS WHEN LAWYERS CHANGE FIRMS GRPC 1.9, 1.10 AND 1.11
38 Carmen George, widow of Martin George, filed a wrongful death action in Atlanta against the Acme Bicycle Company based on the death of her husband while riding an Acme bicycle. She hired the Sheldon law firm to represent her; Acme hired the Kirk law firm to defend. Ryan Paul was an associate at Kirk and took a deposition at Grady Hospital to review medical records relating to Martin s fatal accident. Six months later Paul left Kirk and joined Sheldon as an associate. Paul did not notify either Acme or the Kirk law firm about his new employment. Two months after joining the Sheldon firm, Paul along with his supervisor, Maria Gomez, appeared on behalf of George at a routine motion hearing to extend discovery deadlines in the case.
39 S. Which of the following is correct? 1. Paul is subject to disbarment. 2. If Gomez knew that Paul had previously represented Acme in this case, she is subject to disbarment. 3. Both 1 and 2 4. Neither 1 nor 2 0% 0% 0% 0%
40 S. Which of the following is correct? 1. Paul is subject to disbarment. Yes. 1.9(a) 2. If Gomez knew that Paul had previously represented Acme in this case, she is subject to disbarment. Yes. 1.10(a) 3. Both 1 and 2 4. Neither 1 nor 2
41 Relevant Georgia Rules: 1.9 (a) A lawyer who has formerly represented a client in a matter shall not thereafter represent another person in the same or a substantially related matter in which that person's interests are materially adverse to the interests of the former client unless the former client gives informed consent, confirmed in writing (a) While lawyers are associated in a firm, none of them shall knowingly represent a client when any one of them practicing alone would be prohibited from doing so by Rules 1.7: Conflict of Interest: General Rule, 1.8(c): Conflict of Interest: Prohibited Transactions, 1.9: Former Client or 2.2: Intermediary.
42 Ten days after the motion hearing, Acme filed a motion to disqualify the entire Sheldon law firm from further representation of George. Gomez replied by filing an affidavit that, prior to receiving the disqualification motion, she had not known that Paul had previously represented Acme in the case. The affidavit further states that Paul never conveyed any confidential information to Gomez about Acme that he learned while at the Kirk firm, and that the Sheldon firm has now terminated Paul s employment.
43 T. Assuming the affidavit is true, if Gomez continues to represent George, is she subject to disbarment? 1. No, because the termination of Paul removes any possible conflict of interest 2. No, because Gomez acquired no confidential information about Acme 3. Yes, if Paul had told any other lawyer at Sheldon confidential information about Acme 4. Yes, because the termination of Paul is not relevant 0% 0% 0% 0%
44 T. Assuming the affidavit is true, if Gomez continues to represent George, is she subject to disbarment? 1. No, because the termination of Paul removes any possible conflict of interest It helps but 1.9(b)(2) must be satisfied. 2. No, because Gomez acquired no confidential information about Acme 3. Yes, if Paul had told any other lawyer at Sheldon confidential information about Acme. Correct. NO lawyer remaining at the firm can have information about Acme protected by (b)(2) 4. Yes, because the termination of Paul is not relevant
45 Relevant Georgia Rule: 1.10 (b) When a lawyer has terminated an association with a firm, the firm is not prohibited from thereafter representing a person with interests materially adverse to those of a client represented by the formerly associated lawyer unless: (1) the matter is the same or substantially related to that in which the formerly associated lawyer represented the client; and (2) any lawyer remaining in the firm has information protected by Rules 1.6: Confidentiality of Information and 1.9(c): Conflict of Interest: Former Client that is material to the matter.
46 Assume that prior to joining the Sheldon firm, Paul has not worked for the Kirk firm, but he knows that his brother, an associate at Kirk, is working on the George case. Paul mentions this fact to Gomez when interviewing for the job but says that his brother has never told him any confidential information about the case. Upon hiring Paul, Gomez notifies her opposing counsel at Kirk, who replies that Acme wants the entire firm to withdraw from further involvement in the case.
47 U. Which of the following is correct? 1. If Paul works on the George case, he is subject to discipline 2. If Gomez continues to work on the George case, she is subject to discipline 3. Both 1 and 2 4. Neither 1 nor 2 0% 0% 0% 0%

49 Assume that the wrongful death suit was brought against both Acme Bicycle and the City of Atlanta and that Paul had worked on the case, not at the Kirk firm, but as a lawyer at the City Law Department. When Sheldon hired Paul, Gomez proposed to create a special employment contract with Paul.
50 U. Gomez can continue to represent Gomez without being subject to possible disbarment if: 1. The agreement provides that Paul is screened from any participation in the George lawsuit 2. The agreement provides Paul will receive no portion of any fee earned by the firm from the George lawsuit 3. Gomez sends copies of the proposed agreement to both her own client (George) and the City one week before Paul is hired 4. All of the above 0% 0% 0% 0%

Gomez sends copies of the proposed agreement to both her own client (George) and the City one week before Paul is hired 4. All of the above Correct. (1), (2) and (3) are all required under 1.11(a)
52 Assume that when Paul applied to work for the Sheldon firm, he told Gomez that he had been involved in George v Acme while at the Kirk firm but did not disclose any further information. Assume further that Georgia has amended GRPC 1.10 so that it is identical to the current ABA Model Rule 1.10.
53 V. Can Gomez can continue to represent George if the Sheldon firm hires Paul, even over the objections of Acme, without being subject to disbarment? 1. Yes, as long as Paul is screened from any participation in the George case 2. Yes, as long as Paul receives no portion of any fee earned by the firm in the George case 3. Yes, if both (1) and (2) are satisfied 4. No, because more than (1) and (2) are required to avoid disqualification of the entire firm 0% 0% 0% 0%
