In this discussion we are going to evaluate the pros and cons of the attorney-client privilege. Students whose last name begins with an A-N will argue for the merits of the privilege, and students whose last name begins with an O-Z will argue to limit or abolish it.

In your initial post you should make your best case based on your assignment. Research some examples to support your position and be sure to cite your sources. In your peer responses you should challenge those arguing against your position. Your response should acknowledge their arguments and offer alternatives to consider.

Remember that this is a debate and not an argument, so all posts should be respectful and professional. Our objective is to develop a comprehensive understanding of this privilege so that we can appreciate its place within the profession.
