www.lcdmo.com/hollister.php Confidentiality Rule E |
|
{Even people who do not know a lot about what lawyers do usually understand the idea of lawyer and client confidentiality. |People may not know about the work of lawyers but they may understand client confidentiality and the basic idea of a lawyer. |The basic idea of a lawyer and the importance of client confidentiality are clear to [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] even the most ignorant person. |It is not very difficult to understand what a lawyer does and the reasons that make [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] client confidentiality extremely important. |Consumers may well not be aware of the function of lawyers however they may possibly comprehend client privacy plus the fundamental notion of a lawyer. |The fundamental concept of a lawyer and also the relevance of client confidentiality are evident to even probably the most unaware person. |It really is not rather tough to recognize what a lawyer performs along with the factors that make client confidentiality very essential. |Individuals could not know about the function of lawyers however they might possibly comprehend customer confidentiality plus the fundamental notion of a lawyer. |The essential thought of a [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] lawyer along with the relevance of client confidentiality are evident to even probably the most unaware person. |It's not especially hard to realize [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] what a lawyer performs and also the aspects that make client confidentiality [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] incredibly essential. Confidentiality of the information [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] learned during a professional relationship is extremely important and this is specified in the lawyer's code of conduct. Lawyers are however, permitted by the code to disclose such information if he is under pressure from the law or the client. If the client wants the lawyer [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] to properly defend his case he needs to open up to his client and this rule is in place to protect his interests. Unless this rule was in place, clients would [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] hesitate before to tell their lawyer anything. The rule can be used anyhow. In fact, a lawyer is not allowed to disclose whether a person even is their client.
This rule continues to be [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] in effect even after the lawyer is no longer working for the client. Lawyers are not permitted to discuss the case with anybody under any circumstances. Due to fewer [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] numbers of people, the identity of the client often ends up being discovered.
However, the rule clearly states that if a lawyer finds the information leading to a crime, he can reveal it. For example, if client states that they intend to steal [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] a car, the lawyer can contact the authorities if they choose.
If there is any sort of violence involved in the crime, the lawyer has to inform the concerned authorities. If the client says they intend to rob a bank, their lawyer has to [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] call police. In such a situation, the client's confidentiality can be sacrificed for the protection of public interests.
A client, who acknowledges a past crime to a lawyer, puts the lawyer in a difficult situation. If such a situation arises then the lawyer is supposed to maintain the confidentiality of the client as the crime cannot be prevented by disclosing the information. A more difficult issue arises when the [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] client tells their lawyer they just robbed a bank, and they hand over the smoking gun.
This flaw was noticed when a similar incident occurred. A murder case saw the verdict delayed by almost 17 months as the main evidence was concealed by the accused party's lawyer. The Law Society of Upper Canada needed to take a look into the features of the confidentiality rule in the code of conduct because of this controversy. [link widoczny dla zalogowanych]
The confidentiality rule does not prohibit the lawyer's staff from gaining access to the information but it has to kept a secret. A very important fact is that the information in the court files is actually public property. This is why any information that must not be shared with the public must be kept out of these court files.
Any information [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] from which a lawyer or anybody else can profit is not supposed to be hidden and is exempted under the confidentiality rule. The confidentiality rule states that no information should ever be included in the autobiography of a lawyer which points out any past activity of a client. Most of what lawyer's write is fiction.
