Sec. 776.31  Former judge or arbitrator.

    (a) Former judge or arbitrator:
    (1) Except as stated in paragraph (a)(3) of this section, a covered 
USG attorney shall not represent anyone in connection with a matter in 
which the covered USG attorney participated personally and substantially 
as a judge or other adjudicative officer, arbitrator, or law clerk to 
such a person, unless all parties to the proceeding consent after 
disclosure.
    (2) A covered USG attorney shall not negotiate for employment with 
any person who is involved as a party or as attorney for a party in a 
matter in which the covered USG attorney is participating personally and 
substantially as a judge or other adjudicative officer. A covered USG 
attorney serving as law clerk to a judge, other adjudicative officer, or 
arbitrator may negotiate for employment with a party or attorney 
involved in a matter in which the clerk is participating personally and 
substantially, but only after the covered USG attorney has notified the 
judge, other adjudicative officer, or arbitrator, and been disqualified 
from further involvement in the matter.
    (3) An arbitrator selected as a partisan of a party in a multi-
member arbitration panel is not prohibited from subsequently 
representing that party.
    (b) [Reserved]
