Rule 2.2 [Rescinded]

This rule has been officially removed and no longer applies. It used to cover a lawyer's role when acting as a neutral third party helping two or more clients work out an agreement between them, rather than representing just one side.

Since the rule was rescinded, any past guidance it provided no longer carries legal weight. If you're looking into how lawyers handle situations involving multiple clients or acting as a go-between, you'll need to check other current rules, since this one has been taken off the books.

If you have questions about a specific legal situation involving a lawyer working with multiple parties, it's a good idea to ask a lawyer directly. They can point you to the rules that actually apply now.
