Domestic Law means any applicable laws, ordinances and other regulations or requirements in each Authority's jurisdiction.
Answer:
A) Yes, because Rule 1.16(a) requires a lawyer to reject representation if the representation will result in violation of law. Here, the attorney helped his client conceal assets, which is a violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1956 because the assets were the proceeds of a crime.
Explanation:
Rule 1.16: Declining or Terminating Representation
(a) Except as stated in paragraph (c), a lawyer shall not represent a client or, where representation has commenced, shall withdraw from the representation of a client if:
(1) the representation will result in violation of the rules of professional conduct or other law;
(2) the lawyer's physical or mental condition materially impairs the lawyer's ability to represent the client; or
(3) the lawyer is discharged.
