client-attorney privilege
Client-attorney privilege is a legal right that keeps certain communications between a client and their lawyer private. It encourages open and honest conversations, allowing the lawyer to provide the best advice. This privilege means that, in most cases, the lawyer cannot be required to disclose what a client has told them during confidential discussions, even in court or legal proceedings. The goal is to protect the client's interests and ensure trust in the lawyer-client relationship, ultimately promoting fairness and effective legal representation.
