  1. attorney-client privilege

    Attorney-client privilege refers to a legal principle that preserves the confidentiality of communications between a lawyer and their client. This principle protects clients from having their confidential information disclosed without their consent, allowing them to speak freely and honestly with their legal counsel. It encourages full and frank communication, which aids in rendering effective representation. There are limitations and exceptions to this rule, and it does not protect communications that are made for the purpose of committing a crime or fraud. This privilege continues even after the attorney-client relationship has ended.
