Los Angeles Community College Dist. v. Torgow
Defendant Martha Torgow (Torgow), former general counsel of plaintiff Los Angeles Community College District (LACC), appeals from a judgment after court trial, enjoining her for five years from representing, without informed, written consent, any current or former LACC employee with interests adverse to LACC, including two named professors. Court conclude that the judgment is both overbroad and unsupported by the showing necessary to disqualify an attorney from represention adverse to a former client. Court therefore reverse.
