| "[I]t is not ethically permissible for a law firm to represent a client in a matter before a governing body when one of the law firm's lawyers is a member of the governing body even if he/she discloses the conflict and abstains from participation and voting in the matter." [This rule was expanded in LEO 1763 to include any "public body" and to include any communication with the public body, not just a personal appearance before it.] |
