(1) Attorneys in a career status shall be full-time employees and shall not engage in the
private practice of law and shall not receive any fee for legal services rendered to any person,
corporation, partnership, or other legal entity other than the state or the county in which the person
holds office or by whom the person is employed. The practice of law prohibited by this

new matters once employed. Once career service status is conferred, the attorney is bound by the
provisions of Subsection (1).

retained on a fee basis to render services in connection with a single case or a related series of
cases.
