Duquesne Law Review
Abstract
The United States Supreme Court held that the federal evidentiary attorney-client privilege survives the client's death and therefore protects an attorney's notes taken during a client meeting from discovery by a federal grand jury when the client died shortly after the meeting and the notes are sought because of their relevance to a criminal investigation conducted by the Office of Independent Counsel.
