How is attorney-client privilege interpreted in law?
MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from U.S. v. Osborn, 561 F.2d 1334 (9th Cir. 1977):
Since the effect of the assertion of the attorney-client privilege is to withhold relevant information from the finder of fact, the privilege is to be applied only when necessary to achieve its purpose of encouraging clients to make full disclosure to their attorneys. Fisher v. United States, 425 U. S. at 403, 96 S. Ct. 1569; Baird v. Koerner [60-2 USTC p9527], 279 F. 2d 623, 631-32 (9th Cir. 1960).
