Persons examining the files and records of the law practice of the affected attorney pursuant to this article shall observe the lawyer-client privilege and shall make disclosure only to the extent necessary to carry out the purposes of this article. Such disclosure is a disclosure which is reasonably necessary for the accomplishment of the purpose for which the affected attorney was consulted. The appointment of such licensee of the State Bar shall not affect the lawyer-client privilege which privilege shall apply to communications by or to the appointed lawyers to the same extent as it would have applied to communications by or to the affected attorney.
Notes
Requires persons examining an affected attorney’s law-practice files and records under the article to preserve lawyer-client privilege and disclose information only as reasonably necessary to carry out the article’s purposes. Establishes that appointing another State Bar licensee does not alter the privilege and extends it to communications involving appointed lawyers as it applied to the affected attorney.
