Abstract
This article addresses waiver of the attorney-client privilege by voluntary disclosure. The central requirements of such waiver are that it be voluntary and disclose a “significant part” of the privileged communication. Selective disclosure to particular individuals or entities will generally waive the privilege as to all. However, disclosure to another person within a privilege will not result in waiver. The article concludes by discussing the effect of agreements between attorneys about waiver and pretrial orders by courts under FRE 502.
