In legal phrasing, I’m thinking the attorney-client privilege applies to the client, and that a duty of confidentiality then applies to the attorney.
In legal phrasing, I’m thinking the attorney-client privilege applies to the client, and that a duty of confidentiality then applies to the attorney.
However, can it also be said that the attorney-client privilege applies to the attorney? Or does the attorney only have a duty of confidentiality and not a privilege?

An attorney is bound by the Attorney/client privilege where a client is not, a lawyer has a duty, except in extreme cases to maintain that confidentiality.~
