Court Says No Immediate Appeal for Attorney-Client Privilege

ADVERTISEMENTS
The Supreme Court's opinion in Mohawk Industries, Inc. v. Carpenter is now available here.  Justice Sotomayor delivered the opinion, explaining:  "The question before us is whether disclosure orders adverse to the attorney-client privilege qualify for immediate appeal under the collateral order doctrine.  Agreeing with the Court of Appeals, we hold that they do not.  Postjudgment appeals, together with other review mechanisms, suffice to protect the rights of litigants and preserve the vitality of the attorney-client privilege."
