Legal Aid Attorney - Withdrawal from Representation.

 

February 3, 1970

 

It is not improper for a legal aid attorney to withdraw from representing

a legal aid client at the direction of the legal aid society's directors

when the representation undertaken was ab initio beyond the jurisdictional

authority of the society. [See II: DR:2-108.]
