Hello miketv1,

This is a surprisingly difficult matter to research.  Eventually, I
found one page with a policy on conflicts of interest by using the
term "conflicts database", which is a fairly common term used by law
firms.

"Our Firm - Client Service - Terms of Engagement" [under "Conflicts of
Interest"]
Garvey Schubert Barer
http://www.gsblaw.com/firm/terms.asp

I then noticed that this page used the term "Our Firm", so I decided
to try the following search on Google:

'Searched the web for "conflicts of interest" "our firm" site:com'
Google
://www.google.com/search?sourceid=navclient&q=%22conflicts+of+interest%22+%22our+firm%22+site%3Acom

[Note: I included the term "site:com" since URLs for law firms in the
United States usually end with ".com".]

This search resulted in at least two more good results among the first
hundred:

"Important Notice"
Lewis & Bacon - Attorneys at Law
http://www.lewisandbacon.com/contact.html

"Information for Clients" [under "Conflicts of Interest"]
Motschenbacher & Blattner LLP
http://www.portlaw.com/info.htm

There are probably similar searches you could try to find more.  For
instance, you could substitute "about the firm" in place of "our
firm".  Alternatively, you could substitute "conflict of interest" in
place of "conflicts of interest".
