• Turning Out the 'Light of Reason and Experience': The Selective Waiver Doctrine and Proposed Federal Rule of Evidence 502

A trial requires the truth to meet the ends of justice. At the same time, common law has created the law of privileges because society has valued the trust and confidentiality of certain relationships enough to allow certain individuals the right to refuse to offer testimony at trial. The attorney-client privilege is the oldest of the recognized privileges. This article will describe the attorney-client privilege and also how the Federal Rules of Evidence presently govern the law of privileges in federal judicial proceedings. The attorney-client privilege's steely protection of privileged communication morphs into nothing more than a symbolic gesture for corporations' misuse when faced with the selective waiver doctrine. Courts recognize few privileges because of their drastic exclusion...

• Utah's Top Court Hears Housing Case

The case of a couple's legal battle with a real estate developer took a bit of a sidestep all the way to the state's highest court. Attorneys for Dennis and Marilynn Moler and developer Christopher McCandless argued this month before the five justices of the Utah Supreme Court on whether discussions between the couple, their attorney and their ex-lawyer daughter are privileged communication or not. A lower court ruled the communication was not privileged, resulting in the appeal to the state high court.

The governor has always said it is the Legislature's constitutional prerogative to vote their conscience," said Dennise Casey, [Jim Douglas]' campaign manager. "Most of them, he believes, would support the person with the most votes - just as they did in 2002 and have done the vast majority of the time. "It shows that, in some ways, we are perceived as the bigger threat," [Morgan Daybell] said. "Without us in the mix, [Democrats] can go to voters and say, 'Vote for us, we are not Republican,' and do well in Vermont. Where we run, the discussion becomes Catamount versus universal health care and shutting down Yankee versus relicensing for only 10 years." "What Gayes offered is redacted constituent letters," [Curt Hier] told "Fair Game." "That's not what I want. I'm not interested in th...
