Here's an oddity: one federal agency sues another. (via Volokh) Presumably the government lawyers weren't in some kind of structural conflict but rather were able to limit their representation to their own agency. This kind of lawyering vis-a-vis other agencies and other branches is one reason why it doesn't make sense to say that government lawyers have the public as their client.
