Rule 6.3 Membership in Legal Services Organization
Title 6 Public Service
Rule Text

The LLLT shall not knowingly participate in a decision or action of the organization:
(a) if participating in the decision or action would be incompatible with the LLLT's obligations to a client under Rule 1.7; or
(b) where the decision or action could have a material adverse effect on the representation of a client of the organization whose interests are adverse to a client of the LLLT.
