Title: Breaching attorney privilege??
Post by: joni on Dec 01, 2003, 08:07:22 PM

Hello Soc,

I'm putting together a collaterol evidence file for upcoming psych evals.  I'm thinking about including some letters from our prior attorney which recapped conversations with my husband's Ex's attorney and the such.  

They are fairly broad letters but are of value because they show his Ex's attitude in court, frame of mind, judge's impatience with her.  They don't appear to compromise any privilege.

If I include 2/3 of these letters, would I open Pandora's box and have to produce all attorney correspondence?

Your facts suggest that you are waiving attorney-client privilege by revealing confidential correspondence. If you do so, the other party can move that all correspondence and the attorney's testimony be admitted into evidence.
