This CLE course brought to you by CLE123, Inc. and Oyez.org consists of oral argument before the United States Supreme Court in Swidler and Berlin v. U.S. This course qualifies for one credit hour of ethics, in that it deals with the attorney-client privilege and whether it has applicability after the death of the client.
This Supreme Court Argument arises out of the Vince Foster case. Nine days before Vince Foster's death, apparently by suicide, he met with attorney James Hamilton. After Foster's death, Hamilton's handwritten notes were subpoenaed. In this case, the Supreme Court hears argument as to whether or not the attorney-client privilege survives the client's death. Hot Bench - Great Argument - a 6-3 decision.
