What exactly is attorney client privilege? Is this when you talk to your lawyer in secret?
Bigjoe-when you and your attorney discuss ANYTHING it is privileged information that no one, not even a court, can invade or have access to, unless you release the privilege, formally. It is like you and your physician. He would never ever release any information regarding you and your health unless you formally waive the privacy.
