	Client confidentiality - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Client confidentiality is the principle that an institution or individual should not reveal information about their clients to a third party without the consent of the client or a clear legal reason.
		The access to a client's data as provided by the institution in question is usually limited to law enforcement agencies and requires some legal procedures to be accomplished prior to such action (eg.: court order issued, etc.).
		However, had it not been for the assumed confidentiality, it is unlikely that the information would have been shared in the first place, and to breach this trust would then discourage others from confiding with priests in the future.

	Crime-Fraud Exception to Attorney-Client Confidentiality
		Communications between attorney and client having to do with the client's contemplated criminal acts, or in aid or furtherance thereof, are not covered by the cloak of privilege ordinarily existing in reference to communications between attorney and client.
		If the client consults the attorney at law with reference to the perpetration of a crime, and they co-operate in effecting it, there is no privilege, inasmuch as it is no part of the lawyer's duty to aid in crime he ceases to be counsel and becomes a criminal.
		Communications of a client to an attorney are not privileged if they were a request for advice as to how to commit a fraud, it being in such a case not only the attorney's privilege, but his duty, to disclose the facts to the court.

		Confidential information disclosed to the lawyer by a potential client in discussions before any actual employment is nonetheless protected by the ethical obligation.
		But if the client does not act so precipitously, and if the client intends that the disclosure not be disclosed to persons other than the lawyer and those working with the lawyer, it is confidential.
		The client need not expressly state that he wants the communication to be held confidential; it is enough if, under the circumstances, he could reasonably assume that there would not be disclosure to others.

		Consider moving to a building in which your clients can travel directly from a private parking garage to the office, avoiding the main lobby, and in which the reception area is configured to allow clients to remain private.
		It would be inappropriate, for example, to tell your client's or your prospective client's spouse that you cannot represent him or her because doing so would create a conflict.
		We have had clients who did not want their secretaries or receptionists to know what was happening in their personal lives.

	STEELE SCHARBACH ASSOCIATES LLC -- White Paper: E-Mail and Client Confidentiality (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Client pressure and competition in the legal profession have combined to mandate that law firms and law departments develop efficient and secure means of electronic mail communication.
		"Confidential information" consists of information concerning client/matters that the firm may not disclose to the public without a reasonable expectation of adverse consequences for a client of the firm.
		Most (typically 75%) of the information sent between lawyers and clients involves routine matters (messages concerning timetables, public matters such as pleadings, and minor transactional points) which are not sufficiently sensitive to be worth protecting.

	Lawyer/Client Confidentiality
		In future sessions there may be additional attempts to make inroads into these confidentiality provisions in the context of enhancing the enforcement of specific crimes, or to deal with concerns about expanded use of electronic communication by attorneys.
		Perhaps the greatest challenge to the attorney confidentiality principle is the trend toward multi-professional combinations, especially those involving lawyers and accountants.
		If change in the confidentiality of information exchanged between lawyers and clients is necessary, it should be accomplished by amendments to the Maryland Rules.

	The Self-Defense Exception to Client Confidentiality
		A unique situation involving confidentiality and former clients occurs when a client discharges an attorney and then blames the attorney for some action or advice that has not turned out well.
		Hopefully the former client and current counsel are present and can assert or waive the privilege and the ethics rule protection.
		Nevertheless, the scope of the self-defense exception to client confidentiality appears to be similar, if not identical.

	Some Thoughts on Communications Technology and Client Confidentiality
		It is clear that the use of strong encryption to safeguard electronic communications is a nearly foolproof means of protecting client confidences given current and foreseeable levels of technology, but it is rather cumbersome, and imposes a burden with respect to distribution and protection of the keys necessary to decipher an encrypted message.
		When travelling with confidential information on one’s notebook computer, it is important to safeguard such information, especially in view of the fact that a notebook computer is a prime target for theft.
		It is to be hoped that it does achieve its purpose in arguing that a modest understanding of the underlying technology is required for the recognition of problems, which may not otherwise be apparent, and for appropriate application of ethical rules.

	Chinese Walls and Client Confidentiality
		The term ‘Chinese wall’ is a reference to the procedures taken by a firm to prevent information obtained in the course of acting for one client being disclosed to other personnel in the same firm who are acting for other clients to whom that information may be important.
		He was firmly of the view that a former client should not be exposed to the risk of such disclosure unless there were powerful reasons for saying that he should.
		His Lordship went on to say that an effective Chinese wall needed to be an established part of the organisational structure of the firm, not created ad hoc and dependent on the acceptance of evidence sworn for the purpose by the members of staff engaged on the relevant work.

		However, there could potentially be a problem when there are attorneys in the same office who represent opposing clients, such as occurs with frequency in the office where I work.
		It's interesting to note that there have also been mixups with mail distribution and I have opened letters intended for other attorneys that were inadvertently delivered to our office.

		If the changes are approved, the code would permit, but not compel, a lawyer to disclose client confidences to prevent or to mitigate "injury to the financial interests or property of another," when the lawyer's services were used to further a client's crime.
		In 2001, the delegates approved a narrower change, permitting a lawyer to breach client confidentiality "to prevent reasonably certain death or substantial bodily harm," but even that change was controversial.
		Besides, it is rarely a fl and white question whether a client's plan is illegal, and it is not the lawyer's job to make that determination.

	Attorney Client Confidentiality in the Criminal Environmental Law Context:
		may, in determining whether to disclose a client's confidence, balance the values of: preserving confidentiality against the severity of the crime; the attorney's feelings on the morality of the client's plans; and the benefits of preventing the intended crime or mitigating the consequent harm.
		Together, these general rules stand for the principle that if the client's act, or potential act, causes, or will likely cause, a person serious harm in the future and the act cannot readily be characterized as a single or one-time event, the attorney may break the client's confidence.
		Thus, a client's failure to disclose a release is a crime regardless of whether the crime is in the past or present.

		In the CBA’s submission filed prior to a December 17th hearing, the CBA warned that clients will be reluctant to disclose information to lawyers if they fear their lawyer will be compelled to alert authorities rather than to advise the client as to how to comply.

		The CBA takes strong exception to the proposed “noisy withdrawal” rule which requires lawyers to whistle-blow on their clients and report to Securities authorities any misconduct or violation lawyers “reasonably believe” may be contained in documents submitted to the SEC.
