What it does
Existing law governs the admissibility of evidence in court proceedings and generally provides a privilege as to communications made in the course of the attorney-client relationship, as specified. Under existing law, the right of any person to claim certain evidentiary privileges, including the lawyer-client privilege, is waived with respect to a communication protected by the privilege if any holder of the privilege, without coercion, has disclosed a significant part of the communication or has consented to a disclosure made by anyone.
