Personal Relationship with Opposing Counsel? ABA Formal Ethics Opinion 494 (2020)
Channel: Professor Stevenson
Date: 2024-01-12

Video lecture for my Professional Responsibility course (and MPRE prep) about a lawyer's personal relationship with opposing counsel, and how this can create a material limitation-type conflict of interest that requires disclosure and consent. This is from ABA Formal Ethics Opinion 494 (2020) and explains Model Rule 1.7(a)(2). This is an updated/redone version of a video I recorded back in 2020.

I have the comments turned off on my channel due to scammers posting marketing ads and trolls posting other inappropriate content. But if you found the video helpful and want to let me know, email me - dstevenson @ stcl.edu
