After working on the defense side of asbestos litigation for many years, Paralegal Kawika decides he wants to work for a small firm and branch out away from asbestos into real estate or family law. Kawika sends out some resumes and gets a call from a law firm that does primarily real estate and family law but does represent some asbestos plaintiffs. Kawika should
 
  A) interview with this firm but bring a list of his current clients with him so they can check for conflicts.
  B) interview with this firm and accept an offer from them only after getting a written waiver of the conflict from his current employer
  C) not bother to interview with this firm because the conflict of interest is obvious and no asbestos plaintiffs lawyer would hire him.
  D) interview with this firm and accept an offer from them only after getting a written waiver of any potential conflicts from the new employer

Question 2

Jody and Sam have agreed to end their marriage amicably. They have worked out all of the details of who will get what assets and how their money will be divided. In order to save money, they want to hire one lawyer to write up their agreement. Larry Lawyer
 
  A) can take this representation so long as both parties sign a waiver of the conflict.
  B) should not take this representation because, even if Jody and Sam have agreed to all of the details of their agreement, there is a conflict of interest between the two people.
  C) is obligated to take the representation because lawyers have a duty to take cases regardless of how they feel about the clients.
  D) can take this representation so long as both parties pay him an equal amount.
