[LAW] Attorney-Client Privilege (when the attorney is the witness). How does it work?

216 views

If the prosecutor of a criminal case refuses to charge anyone unless there is a witness who can testify to criminal intent, what happens then if the only witness is the attorney of the suspected perpetrator? Does attorney-client privilege still apply?

Yes it would apply. An attorney cannot for most reasons be compelled to testify against their client.
