  1. Attorney–client privilege

    Attorney–client privilege is a legal concept that protects certain communications between a client and his or her attorney and keeps those communications confidential. The attorney–client privilege is one of the oldest recognized privileges for confidential communications. The United States Supreme Court has stated that by assuring confidentiality the privilege encourages clients to make "full and frank" disclosures to their attorneys, who are then better able to provide candid advice and effective representation.
