In February 2009 the ABA House of Delegates voted to amend the Model Rules of Professional Conduct 1.0 and 1.10 to permit the screening of a lawyer who moves laterally from one private firm to another, so that the conflicts of interest that apply to the moving lawyer in the new firm are not imputed to all other lawyers in the new firm. A similar amendment to the Idaho Rules of Professional Conduct is being presented to the membership as a 2009 Resolution. This seminar provides a discussion of what the amendment will mean to Idaho lawyers if adopted.
