The Communication Privilege

The communication privilege is a legal protection that keeps certain conversations confidential between a client and their lawyer. It means that these private discussions cannot be used as evidence in court without the client's permission. This privilege encourages honest and open communication, allowing clients to share all relevant details. It can also cover some communications within specific professional or confidential contexts. However, it has limits and can be waived if the client chooses to share the information voluntarily. Overall, it safeguards the trust and integrity of the attorney-client relationship.
