C/D? Official study guide and practice exam questions both mention timing, so not totally clear to me which is best.
I get the confusion, but litigation privilege actually covers materials prepped for possible litigation, not just communications. So option A is closest since it's about client-lawyer stuff, though it's super similar to attorney-client privilege. Not totally sure here, but leaning A based on what I've seen.
A , but if the material wasn't prepared for litigation, then privilege doesn't necessarily apply. Edge cases flip this sometimes.
I actually think it’s A. Litigation privilege in common law systems protects confidential communication with legal counsel, not just documents made for trial prep. Could be wrong but that's what I've seen on other official sources.
D
It’s A, since D is a common trap mixing up work product doctrine specifics. Similar question came up in practice tests.
A just the answer.
C or D, but I think it's easy to mix up here since C is tempting as a timing trap. Privilege isn't just during trial, so D makes more sense but not 100% sure.
A tbh, but I’m not sure. Sounds like it’s about protecting client-lawyer talk. Can someone confirm if that’s right?
Be respectful. No spam.
