Levin complained that the District Attorney's Office sent the letter to Vipperman without talking to her. In addition, she stated that the e-mail from Vipperman to her is a privileged communication between client and attorney.

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...

Internal auditors seem to be in need of the same privilege that protects the confidentiality of communications between attorneys and their clients. This privilege was provided to prevent attorneys and their clients from testifying about confidential information. A similar protective measure could benefit internal auditors since they, like their colleagues in the legal profession, are often called upon to undertake sensitive investigations.
