Rule 4-6.2. Accepting appointments

    A lawyer shall not seek to avoid appointment by a tribunal to represent a person except for good cause, such as when:

    (a) representing the client is likely to result in violation of the Rules of Professional Conduct or of the law;

    (b) representing the client is likely to result in an unreasonable financial burden on the lawyer; or

    (c) the client or the cause is so repugnant to the lawyer as to be likely to impair the client-lawyer relationship or the lawyer's ability to represent the client.
