| Although there is no attorney-client relationship between the lawyer for an infant and the infant's mother (acting as "next friend" in a personal injury action), the lawyer may not represent the infant in an action against his mother without the mother's consent, because "while discussing the infant's case, the mother may have divulged confidential or secret information which may present an advantage to [the lawyer's] representation of the infant and a disadvantage to the mother as a party defendant." |
