Practice question
A city councilor-lawyer is asked to represent a private plaintiff in a civil suit against a government agency. The agency is the adverse party, and the hearing is outside session hours. Does the schedule alone make the appearance permissible under Section 90(b)?
- Yes, because the only restriction concerns session hours
- Yes, if the agency is not the councilor’s own city
- No, because the civil-case restriction independently covers a government office or agency as adverse party
- Yes, if the client signs a waiver
- No, because councilors can never practice any profession
