Course Description
Length: 59min Published: 6/4/2026 
This seminar provides an in-depth analysis of Rule 1.6, focusing on the concept of confidentiality in legal practice. Carrie Sheehan, Assistant General Counsel at Taft and Tinnius and Hollister law firm, explains the broad scope of confidentiality, distinguishing it from attorney-client privilege and the work product doctrine. The session emphasizes the importance of understanding these distinctions to maintain ethical standards and client trust, especially in social and professional settings where inadvertent disclosures might occur.
Learning Objectives
* Rule 1.6 encompasses all information related to client representation, not just privileged communications.
* Confidentiality is broader than attorney-client privilege and includes publicly filed documents.
* Legal professionals must avoid disclosing client information, even in social settings, without consent.
* Understanding the distinctions between confidentiality, privilege, and work product is crucial for compliance.
* Attorneys should be cautious when responding to requests for proposals to avoid breaching confidentiality.
