LEO: Conflict of Interests/Assistant  LE Op. 487

 

Conflict of Interests/Assistant Commonwealth's Attorney as

Witness for Prosecution.

 

September 3, 1982

 

A Commonwealth's attorney's office is subject to the same restrictions

applicable to a private law firm. Consequently, it would be improper for a

Commonwealth's attorney or his assistant to testify in a case which the

other is prosecuting. [See DR:5-101 and DR:5-102.]
