An attorney is a voting member of the legislation committee of a consumer-based law reform group that drafts and advocates the passage of proposed statutes on food safety. the law reform group is currently debating a draft statute that sets quality and safety standards for growth hormones administered to chickens, turkeys, and other poultry. the attorney is also engaged in the private practice of patent law. she regularly represents a biotechnology firm. using the techniques of genetic engineering, the biotechnology firm invents, develops, and sells a variety of patented growth hormones. the attorney herself has obtained patents on some of these hormones for the biotechnology firm. if enacted into law, the law reform group's proposed statute on poultry hormones could materially increase the biotechnology firm's hormone sales because it is the only firm whose hormones would meet the statute's quality and safety requirements.

would it be proper for the attorney, as a member of the law reform group's legislation committee, to participate in the debate on, and to cast her vote on, the proposed statute?

response - incorrect

a no, because the statute could materially benefit the biotechnology firm.

b no, because the attorney may not serve as a member of the law reform group while representing the biotechnology firm.

c yes, provided that she informs the legislation committee that she represents an unnamed client whose interests could be materially benefited by the statute.

d yes, provided that she informs the legislation committee that she represents the biotechnology firm, whose interests could be materially benefited by the statute.
