attorney work-product doctrine

The Legal Intelligencer's Gina Passarella (my former cubicle-mate!) reports on a Commonwealth Court ruling today that the Pennsylvania Senate must disclose legal bills as well as client names for the attorneys hired by the legislative chamber to represent former state Senator Robert J. Mellow and other Democratic caucus employees. "After already determining attorney-client privilege doesn’t protect from disclosure of client identities or descriptions of legal services provided, the Commonwealth Court has now found that information can’t be protected under the attorney work-product doctrine, grand jury secrecy rules or a criminal investigation exception," The Legal further reports.
