Basically what does that mean in simple terms and what does it actually cover. We’re having a small debate in my house about it right now and nothing I’ve looked up have been in simple enough terms haha .

When you talk to a lawyer, while they are being your lawyer, no one can make either of you repeat what was said. Your lawyer can not repeat anything that was said without your permission. You made a pinky swear to keep it all secret because it’s all supposed to be *secret*.

When you talk to your lawyer about anything else, like baseball, you don’t make a pinky swear because there are no secrets in baseball. There are no secrets in how the weather is or what ice cream you like either. So you don’t pinky swear, so your lawyer can talk about it if they like to.
