Attorney client privilege is part of evidence law that states a court cannot compel an attorney to testify in court regarding communications he had with a client. It applies only to communications between attorney and client, or with their agents. If others heard the communication, it is not considered privileged.

Duty of confidentiality is an ethical duty of lawyers to keep all things relating to a client's case confidential, including communications with a client, communications with other individuals regarding the case, and attorney work product. If a lawyer reveals confidential information, he or she may be subject to state bar disciplinary proceedings. Confidential information is not necessarily protected by attorney client privilege. A lawyer could be compelled to testify in court regarding communications he had with another individual regarding a client's case, if that individual was not his client.
