How does one ask the court to recuse an attorney due to a perceived conflict of interest?
<p>Is there a legal principle or process that can be used to ask a court in the US - either at the time of filing or during a legal proceeding - to consider recusing an attorney from the opposing side due to a perceived conflict of interest?</p>

<p>What is the name(s) of the process or principle? (So individual state codes can be referred to).</p>

<p>You can't normally ask the court to "recuse" an attorney, because "recusal" is normally restricted to the <em>judge</em> leaving the case. The more common term is moving to disqualify opposing counsel.</p>
