In In re Executive Commission on Ethical Standards Re Appearance of Rutgers Attorneys, 116 N.J. 216, 561 A.2d 542 (1989), the Court carved out a very narrow exception in holding that the representation of clients before a state agency by the clinical legal program and the teaching supervisor of a state law school did not violate the Conflicts Law. The Court grounded its holding upon the unique status of the University as a hybrid public and private institution, and concerns for academic freedom. Id. at 223-24, 561 A.2d 452.
