Practice question
A lawyer resigns from an agency and, two months later, proposes private legal work wholly unrelated to that former office. She claims Section 7(b) does not impose a blanket one-year ban on all professional practice. Confine the analysis to that subsection. Is her reading correct?
- Yes; private practice is excepted from blanket continuation, but matters before her former office remain barred for one year
- No; all legal practice anywhere is barred for five years
- No; all employment is permanently barred
- Yes; she may also handle matters before the former office immediately
- Yes; no post-service restrictions exist at all
