imputed disqualification

Read a random definition: coram non judice

A quick definition of imputed disqualification:

Imputed disqualification is when a whole group of lawyers or a law firm is disqualified from representing a client because one of the lawyers has a conflict of interest or bias that prevents them from being impartial. This is also called vicarious disqualification. It means that the actions of one lawyer affect the entire group. Disqualification can also refer to being ineligible for something, like a job or position. Disregard means ignoring or treating something without respect or consideration, while disruptive conduct refers to behavior that causes problems or disturbances. Disseise means wrongfully taking away someone's possession of property.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Imputed disqualification is when a lawyer is disqualified from representing a client due to a conflict of interest, and this disqualification extends to the entire law firm or office they work for. This is also known as vicarious disqualification.

Example: If a lawyer in a law firm has previously represented a client with a conflict of interest, they may be disqualified from representing a new client with a similar conflict. In this case, the entire law firm would also be disqualified from representing the new client.

This example illustrates how imputed disqualification can affect not only the individual lawyer but also their colleagues in the same law firm or office. It is important to avoid conflicts of interest to prevent imputed disqualification and maintain ethical standards in the legal profession.
