Advocate-client confidentiality protects professional communications unless made to further an illegal purpose or reveal post-appointment crime. Advocate-client communications made in the course and for the purpose of professional legal service are privileged and protected from disclosure without the client's express consent; this protection, which extends to documents and advice and continues after the relationship ends, applies to interpreters and an advocate's clerks and employees. The privilege does not cover communications made in furtherance of an illegal purpose or facts observed by the advocate during service that show a crime or fraud committed since the commencement of that service, and it is immaterial whether the client directed attention to those facts.
