conflict of interest?

Post by Anonymous User » Fri Jul 08, 2016 11:12 am

I haven't taking ethics yet, so I don't know. But is it an issue if opposing counsel on a case I'm working on will be one of my professors next semester? As you can tell, I'm a SA.

This is a question you should direct to your firm's general counsel. Full disclosure is always better now than later. Probably won't be an issue.

Probably not considering your summer program will be over by then and thus your involvement in the case.

This is more about disclosure than anything.
