MRPC 1.16(b)(4)-(7) According to the model rule, at least, the lawyer may withdraw from representation when faced with a disagreeable or repugnant client, one who doesn’t pay, one which presents the lawyer with an unreasonable financial burden, or where other good cause exists. (And this is /withdrawal/, let alone the fact that if a non-client you don’t want comes into your office you have every right to ask him to leave. I suppose some judge could try to cram a client (an indigent criminal suspect maybe?) down your throat under 1.16(c). But I would reckon that the general rule is that NLG members wouldn’t have to represent fedsoc members if they didn’t want to. You might be thinkin of 6.2 cmt. 1 which suggests that like John Adams’ defense of British soldiers, lawyers might find it to be a valuable contribution to our adversarial system if they sometimes stake not an unsavory client. No requirement to do so, though.
