The Erosion of the Attorney-Client Privilege and Work Product Doctrine in Federal Criminal Investigations

Authors

Abstract

The report expresses the view that the attorney client privilege and work product doctrine have been eroded in federal criminal investigations and prosecutions in a way inimical to the fair administration of justice. Arguing that the attorney-client privilege and work product doctrine are essential to the adversary process and the criminal justice system, the report urges the federal government to review and modify its policies to ensure that the privileges are preserved.
