Alan Donagan | Justifying Legal Practice in the Adversary System: A Look at Confidentiality
Donagan looks at arguments justifying lawyer-client confidentiality within the adversary system. While the standard interpretation of confidentiality is justified within the adversary system, an extended interpretation allowing attorneys to withhold information they would otherwise disclose as a moral duty, does not.
