Canadian judge bases opinion on paper by Prof. Giesel

A judge on the Canadian Federal Court based his opinion in a case involving attorney-client privilege on a paper by Prof. Grace Giesel.

The article, "End the Experiment: The Attorney-Client Privilege Should Not Protect Communications in the Allied Lawyer Setting," was published in the Marquette Law Review in 2011.

The Canadian case addressed the issue of whether common interest privilege applies in transactional settings.
