On Oct. 3, 2022, the U.S. Supreme Court granted certiorari in In Re Grand Jury. On appeal from the Ninth Circuit, In Re Grand Jury considers whether the attorney-client privilege protects communications between a client and attorney involving both legal and non-legal advice (“dual-purpose communications”). Because In Re Grand Jury is likely to have significant implications in both criminal and civil proceedings, multiple legal and business organizations have filed amici in this case seeking clarity on the scope of the attorney-client privilege.
