privilege log

A privilege log is a document used in legal proceedings that lists information or documents a party believes are confidential and protected from disclosure. It typically includes details such as the date, authors, recipients, and a brief description of each item. This log helps to clarify why certain information is withheld, ensuring transparency and allowing the opposing party to understand the claim of privilege. By doing so, it aids in resolving disputes over evidence while maintaining confidentiality for sensitive information like attorney-client communications or work product.
