- Recusal typically lasts for the duration of the matter in question
- Further recusal may be required for subsequent matters, depending on their nature
- Mastro emphasizes the need for case-by-case evaluation for recusal decisions

Okay.

And and what is the statute of limitations on when you would be recusing yourself from a client that's in the past or in present?

Well, as I understand the limitation or the refusal, it's for the duration of the matter.

And then depending upon the nature of a subsequent matter, may require further guidance or recusal, but that would depend on the nature of the matter.
