M.R. Prof. Conduct 6.2
ACCEPTING APPOINTMENTS
A lawyer shall not seek to avoid appointment by a tribunal to represent
a person except for good cause, such as:
(a) representing the client is likely to result in violation of the Rules
of Professional Conduct or other law;
(b) representing the client is likely to result in an unreasonable
financial burden on the lawyer; or
(c) the client or the cause is so repugnant to the lawyer as to be likely
to impair the client-lawyer relationship or the lawyer’s ability to
represent the client.
