Abstract
The article reports on the need for the U.S. Sentencing Commission to reverse its policy of requiring corporate defendants to waive attorney-client privilege to qualify for leniency under federal sentence guidelines. The attorney-client waiver privilege has benefits. Erosion of the attorney-client privilege would create a negative outcome. The American Bar Association urges the reversal of the policy.
