in plain englishAI-generated · not legal advice

This law protects attorney-client privilege. A lawyer in good standing doesn't have to include client information in reports required by this chapter. That protection applies only to information the client lawfully shared during a real attorney-client relationship.

This section protects attorney-client communications from the reporting rules in this chapter. It applies to any attorney who is "a member in good standing of the bar of any State." Such an attorney is not required to include, in any report this chapter requires them to file, information that a client lawfully communicated to the attorney. This protection only covers communications made "in the course of a legitimate attorney-client relationship" - meaning a real, lawful relationship between the attorney and that client.
