Nancy Seto, March 30, 2012
Communications are subject to the privilege when three preconditions are met:

2) which entails the seeking or giving of legal advice, and
3) which is intended to be confidential by the parties.
There are a number of exceptions.
1) “innocence at stake”
2) “public safety exception”
3) “criminal communications”
