How does attorney-client privilege work? And how is it not perjury to defend the innocence of someone who admitted their guilt to you?

If ur interested in systems outside America, I can point to a privilege in the province of Nova Scotia in Canada. The Nova Scotia Civil Procedure Rules 14.05 governs privilege.
Solicitor client privilege applies under the following conditions
1. Legal advice is sought (non-legal advice is not protected)
2. The advice is provided in the capacity of a lawyer.
3. Also applies to conduits (eg. Parent helping their children in a case)
Not legal advice
