Answer to Question 1

When Jane came to discuss the case with Jack, an implied attorney-client relationship was formed, even though she was only a prospective client. She divulged confidential information to Jack for the purpose of retaining him. Because Jack now possesses this confidential information, he cannot represent Bob because a conflict of interest would result.

Answer to Question 2

C
