Rule 2.2 Intermediary (DELETED)

This rule has been deleted and no longer applies. West Virginia's Rules of Professional Conduct used to have a Rule 2.2 that covered a lawyer acting as a go-between for two or more clients whose interests might conflict, sometimes called an "intermediary." That rule was removed from the rules entirely.

If you're looking at older documents or case law that mention Rule 2.2, keep in mind it no longer exists in the current rules. Any questions about a lawyer representing multiple parties with different interests are now handled under other conflict of interest rules, such as Rule 1.7. If you're dealing with a situation like this, it's a good idea to ask a lawyer which current rule applies to your case.
