District Court of Appeal of Florida

A state professional responsibility rule involving attorney disqualification does not violate the First Amendment right to association. Certiorari review of an order disqualifying an attorney from representing petitioner at the trial of an underlying will contest is denied where there was no departure from the essential requirements of law in the trial court's order.
