1.10:101 Model Rule Comparison

Colo.RPC 1.10 and its Comment are identical to the Model Rule and its Comment.

1.10:102 Model Code Comparison

While paragraph (a) limits the rule of imputation to particular disqualification situations, DR 5-105(D) imputed an individual lawyer's disqualification to his or her firm as a whole in all circumstances: "If a lawyer is required to decline or to withdraw from employment under a Disciplinary Rule, no partner, or associate, or any other lawyer affiliated with him or his firm, may accept or continue such employment."

The balance of Colo.RPC 1.10 has no counterpart in the Model Code.
