p0501 REVIEW DENIED A city attorney who has appeared in the role of advisor to an administrative body may appear before the body, but may occupy only one position at a time and must not switch roles from one meeting to the next; because it was likely that an administrative body would give greater weight to arguments made by an attorney who had advised it in the matter under consideration, the appearance of bias required the attorney's disqualification.
