The Attorney-Client Privilege in Civil Litigation: Protecting and Defending Confidentiality

This edition includes updates of the attorney-client privilege and work product doctrine. Many of the previous chapters have been completely revised, while others have gone through a comprehensive rewrite. New and expanded topics include application of the revised federal rules and case law governing waiver of privilege, the pitfalls of privilege preservation and waiver in bankruptcy proceedings and international contexts, as well as the intersection of privilege and attorney/client-hired media consultants.
