Practice question
A pension-receiving retired judge argues that every restriction on her private practice expired one year after retirement under the general post-government rule. She now proposes to appear as counsel against a national government instrumentality in a civil court case. Which is the best answer?
- The one-year period always overrides the pension law
- The distinct pension condition continues while she receives the pension and covers the proposed appearance
- The condition applies only if the instrumentality employed her before retirement
- The condition applies only if the instrumentality first files a complaint against her
- The restriction disappears because the client is not a former client
