Describe the attorney-client privilege. Describe the work product doctrine.

All information relating to a client's representation is considered confidential information.
Some confidential information also qualifies as privileged information, or information subject to the attorney-client privilege. The attorney-client privilege is a rule of evidence requiring that confidential communications between a client and his or her attorney (relating to their professional relationship) be kept confidential, unless the client consents to disclosure. State statutes and court cases define what constitutes privileged information. Generally, any communications concerning a client's legal rights or problems fall under the attorney-client privilege. The attorney-client privilege arises even if the lawyer decides not to represent the client and when the client is not charged any fee.
