Town Attorney - Conflicts in Interests.

 

July 28, 1972

 

It is improper for an attorney representing a client on appeal of a

zoning ordinance, upon receiving notice of his imminent appointment as

town attorney, to fail to disclose such to his client and to withdraw from

representing the client on the appeal. [See II: DR:2-108 and DR:5-105.]
