Attorney Work Product Doctrine

The Attorney Work Product Doctrine is a legal principle that protects the materials and thoughts prepared by an attorney in anticipation of litigation. This means any notes, research, or strategies created by a lawyer can't be accessed by opposing parties during a legal dispute. The intent of this doctrine is to ensure that attorneys can prepare and strategize freely, fostering a fair legal process. It helps maintain confidentiality and protects the lawyer's mental impressions, promoting a stronger defense or case presentation without interference from the opposition.
