Here is the link that Gfactor was trying to provide.

Thanks. I’m posting from my phone.

The article cites an Illinois ethics opinion that may be on point, but you either have to be a subscriber or a member of the bar to access it.

The first link in my first post explains the ethics opinion and a companion opinion.

Your link explains it nicely, but I figured someone in her office would be able to pull the ethics opinion directly since she was hunting for case law.

Does your state bar make LEOs available online? I was surprised to see that the DC bar has them available on its website. Virginia’s are available online although not from the bar. One attorney has even created a summary database which is searchable which is surprisingly useful when you need to know someone quickly.

Yes. http://www.michbar.org/opinions/ethicsopinions.cfm (but only from October 1988 to the present). Similarly hit-and-miss among the states are attorney general opinions.
