Question

The procedure of _____ prevents a law team from taking on a client who may be going to court with a lawsuit against one of their former clients.

Answer 1

It is the procedure of conflict checking.

Answer 2

Answer:

Conflict Checking

Explanation:

Conflict checking which is often done by the use of software and a database is a term used to describe a system which is designed to reduce conflicts of interests, most especially in a law firm.

The database and the software are there to ensure a client's interests are settled by representation of a competing matter.

Conflict check ensures that the commitments of a law firm to a client's cause will not be affected by the commitment the firm has towards some other client.
