A conflict of interest is just the appearance that a lawyer MAY use some confidential information obtained while representing a party against that party in another legal matter where he represents someone else. The issue should be brought to the attention of the judge handling the matter so that the question of a conflict of interest can be resolve BEFORE something of substance happens in the pending matter.
