Detailed Explanation
Attorney-client privilege is one of the oldest and most sacred legal protections. It encourages honest communication between lawyers and clients. The privilege belongs to the client, not the attorney, and only the client can waive it. Exceptions: the crime-fraud exception (planning future crimes), and presence of third parties during communication may waive privilege.
