OFF THE PRESS

The ABA Section of Litigation has just released the sixth edition of its best-selling "The Attorney-Client Privilege and the Work-Product Doctrine." As the oldest privilege recognized by Anglo-American jurisprudence, the attorney-client privilege and work-product doctrine has become a pervasive issue in modern-day litigation. While it was a relatively new topic when the first edition was published back in 1980, courts today have come to regard claims of privilege as a fact of life in all litigation. But, since its application is not absolute, litigators need to arm themselves with the latest information to help them navigate the complex, ever-changing terrain. Edna Selan Epstein's must-have treatise is the foremost authority on attorney-client privilege and the work product doctrine. The comprehensive two-volume set has been extensively updated and expanded to include the most recent developments. "The Attorney-Client Privilege and Work-Product Doctrine" costs $299.95 and can be oredered by calling 800-285-2221 or online at shop.americanbar.org. Published: Mon, Jul 24, 2017
