Attorney-Client Privilege - Corporations - Work Product Doctrine - Administrative Summonses, Dolores Jacobs Krawec
Duquesne Law Review
The Supreme Court of the United States, in a unanimous decision, has held that the control group test for determining the applicability of the attorney-client privilege in the corporate context is overly restrictive and that any future application of the privilege must be on a case by case basis. The Court also held that the work product doctrine is applicable to administrative summonses.
