 | | This includes, of course, when a representation becomes a violation of our rules governing conflicts of interest, when the lawyer may find her services are aiding and abetting client fraud or perjury, or when the services of the lawyer may require disclosure of client confidential information. |
 | | I should note that the accounting firm rules governing loyalty were probably precisely the correct formulation for them at a time when they were still minding their knitting, not disparaging their birthright and just providing auditing services. |
 | | The development of rules of professional responsibility, evidence codes, procedural rules amendments, and standards for representation of the indigent are but a few of numerous examples of issues lawyers should and do tackle informed by this principle. |
