The following excerpt is from At&T Mobility LLC v. Gen. Charles E. "chuck" Yeager, No. 2:13-cv-0007-KJM-DAD (E.D. Cal. 2015):
2. A client's waiver of the privilege is distinct from an exception to the privilege. See, e.g., People v. Clark, 50 Cal. 3d 583, 619 n.28 (1990), as modified on denial of reh'g (June 7, 1990) (holding statements are subject to the attorney-client privilege "unless defendant waived those privileges or an exception permits disclosure").
