Read memo spawning proposed CCA changes to privilege rule

In the interest of providing a complete record regarding the debate over deleting criminal defense lawyers' "special rule of attorney client privilege," I wanted to give readers access to the memo by UT law professor Stephen Goode which originally suggested the change to a committee of the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals. See Professor Goode's memo, which appears fairly minimalist and less persuasive than Judge Cochran's recent offering. RELATED: See also the text of the proposed rule change, CCA Judge Cochran's guest post on Grits, TCDLA Treasurer Keith Hampton's guest post defending the rule, blogger reactions from Tyler Appeals and Robert Guest, and a letter from federal public defender Richard Anderson regarding the proposed deletion.
