Where is it located in law about a state's attorney not having attorney-client privilege?
Answer
In Illinois the attorney-client privilege is described and detailed in Illinois rules of evidence, or evidentiary law. The relationship is also a provision in most legal services agreements between attorneys and clients. An attorney agreeing to represent a particular client, who agrees to be represented by the attorney, is the basis for the attorney-client privilege. Since the Attorney General or state's attorney represents the public and deals with public legal issues, there is no attorney-client privilege. This is general information based on the facts described in your inquiry.
