Is there a difference between the rule of confidentiality and attorney-client privilege?
Professional conduct rules generally do not define the attorney-client relationship. Fundamentally, the relationship is one of contract, and, accordingly, contract principles apply. As a result, whether or not a relationship exists depends on a meeting of the minds. There are two principles of confidentiality created by the attorney-client relationship, which include the ethical rule of confidentiality and the evidentiary rule of attorney-client privilege. These two rules are not the same, but in some states the ethical rule is defined by the evidentiary rule. This white paper reviews the scope and diligence of client relations and discusses the importance of communication and confidentiality between the attorney and client.
