attorney work product

Attorney work product refers to documents, notes, and other materials created by a lawyer specifically in preparation for a case. This protection allows lawyers to think, strategize, and prepare without fear that their detailed plans will be shared with the opposing side. Essentially, it keeps certain preparatory information confidential, so the attorney can work effectively and maintain a fair legal process. However, this protection isn’t absolute; under some circumstances, the opposing party may request access through legal procedures.
