You represent a musicians' union fighting for its rights against the big record companies who employ them. Most of the time your work involves employment contracts you try to get the most for union members, and have been especially successful when it comes to helping those who have a few hit songs under their belts. One of the union members, DJ Buttmaxxx, is especially popular but also especially crooked. A year earlier, he was elected as treasurer of the union. Now the union members are alleging Buttmaxxx misappropriated union funds, using them to buy a set of platinum teeth. Buttmaxx wants you to represent him personally in a suit brought against him and the union by certain union members. May you simultaneously represent the union and DJ Buttmaxxx, the treasurer?

You represent Horrible, Nasty, Brutish, and Short L.P., a high-fallutin' investment bank enjoying wonderful business these days, underwriting a large number of initial public offerings for small tech companies. One of the bank's superstar fixed-income traders, Sam Snee, has an unfortunate insider trading compulsion. He could be prosecuted criminally for his acts, and the partnership is exposed to serious liability. As a seasoned Wall Street professional, you know how serious the issue is. You dash into the office of Harry Horrible while he's hard at work eating a tunafish on rye and talking full-steam into his speakerphone about his golf handicap. You interrupt Mr. Horrible and explain what Sam Snee's been up to. Horrible already knows about Snee, and says, "Tell me something new, lawyer!! He's making me big money why stop when the going's good?" So Horrible approves of Snee's insider trading. There is no one higher in the firm to report the illegal activity to. Must you resign?
