Formal Opinion 104
(1962)
Attorney Accepting Appointment as City Attorney for Two Separate Cities or Towns

The Committee has been asked for an opinion on the propriety of an attorney who already holds appointment as city attorney for a fourth-class town accepting a further appointment as city attorney for another nearby fourth-class town.

It is the Committee’s opinion that it is entirely proper for an attorney to act as city attorney for two separate cities. Of course, if any matter should arise involving a conflict of interest as between the two cities or towns, then the attorney should disqualify himself from acting in such matters.
