Personal Relationship with Opposing Counsel? ABA Formal Ethics Opinion 494 (2020)

Video lecture for my Professional Responsibility course (and MPRE prep) about a lawyer's personal relationship with opposing counsel, and how this can create a material limitation-type conflict of interest that requires disclosure and consent. This is from ABA Formal Ethics Opinion 494 (2020) and explains Model Rule 1.7(a)(2). This is an updated/redone version of a video I recorded back in 2020.
