The Insider starring Al Pacino and Russel Crowe is about a research biologist that is asked to appear on 60 minutes to talk about Big Tabacco which he does at the risk of breaching a confidentiality agreement.
confidentiality must be broken when a client threatens a specific person
what are the confidentiality rulesregarding awill drawn up by asolicitor and his client
Yes. Any case in which a therapist discloses client information to another person is considered a breach of confidentiality. Even in legitimate cases of disclosure like contacting the authorities when a client reports abusing a child, it is still considered a breach of client confidentiality even though it is a legal mandate.
The confidentiality agreement is between the attorney and the client. Anything the client says to the attorney in secret must remain secret, under most circumstances. The attorney is not prohibited from telling the client anything.
An interpreter must sign confidentiality agreements for any company he/she works for stating that in any environment where a client is protected by confidentiality laws, he/she will abide by those confidentiality laws.
No. All communications between a lawyer and his client is confidential, at least as it pertains to the client's case.However, there may be a future time when a lawyer is summoned to speak in court or to police about his client conversations. For example, his client is convicted, goes to prison, and is murdered there. In the murder case, a judge may overrule the lawyer/client confidentiality, and the lawyer would then have to talk about what he knows, in the interests of identifying &/or convicting his late-client's killer.
-Human service professional protect the client's right to privacy and confidentiality except when such confidentiality would cause harm to the client or others, when agency guidelines state otherwise, or under other stated conditions. Professionals inform clients of the limits of confidentiality prior to the onset of the helping relationship. What do you think of this?
Yes, because the client trust that you can keep his personal information.
I do not know about attorney privilege, but it is probably similar to the situation with social workers and therapists. Confidentiality does not end after the death of a client.
