85-6 THIS OPINION WAS VACATED BY THE LAWYER DISCIPLINARY BOARD ON SEPTEMBER 14, 2012
This opinion dealt with law firm members in which the spouse of a prosecutor in another county are precluded from accepting criminal cases involving that county. The Committee on Legal Ethics declined to issue an opinion and acknowledged that the West Virginia Rules of Professional Conduct were then under consideration by the Supreme Court and felt that Rule 8.1(i) would address the issue.
