CALIFORNIA BAR EXAM ESSAY GUIDE Part 12 - Professional Responsibility

[@MrLookwhostalkingnow]

Can you confirm the exception to current CoI applies only to ABA (and not CA)? I have some other materials that suggest it applies to both. Thank you!

It does apply to both ABA and CA current client conflicts, CA’s exception is just worded a little differently, and does not explicitly require that the attorney “reasonably believe that he can provide competent and diligent representation to each affected client.”
