I am an attorney in civil litigation and there has been a request for the production of notes my client has kept. Most of these notes my client kept were during meetings with me. Is there a privilege issue that can be raised?
The attorney-client privilege and the Rules of Professional Conduct create a rather broad privilege in Pennsylvania. Rule 1.6 of the Rules of Professional Conduct makes privilege anything pertaining to the representation of a client. Obviously, a meeting between the attorney and the client is the essence of attorney-client privilege, either the common law privilege, the statutory privilege or Rule of Professional Conduct 1.6.
