Hmm... are these memoranda or were these writings filed with the court?

If memoranda... this is a bad situation. Sorry. I'd spiff something up for a class, I guess, and hope for the best, maybe?

If these were filed with the court (and hence, public record), I think it is the kind of funny coincidence that I'd point out up front in your writing sample cover sheet that explains the context of the document (I'm assuming students in your area do these cover sheets, although not all students from my school included one). I'd say something like: "While at the time I wrote this I did not contemplate the possibility of using it to seek employment from the opposing side, I think that this is a representative sample of my work and your firm's familiarity with the case's context makes this sample that much more meaningful as an indicator of my abilities."

Good luck to you!
