Abstract

The purposes of this Recent Development are to analyze the effect of the Seventh Circuit's work product decision on disqualification standards and to develop a consistent framework for determining whether access to the work product of an attorney disqualified for opposing a former client should be allowed. This Recent Development urges that in order to provide the effective guidance necessary for both voluntary compliance and judicial enforcement, the Code must incorporate those judicial standards that most closely reflect its standards in this area. Thus the Recent Development proposes an Ethical Consideration regarding access to work product that reflects the ethical concerns underlying Canon.
