主题：【翻译】纽约律师职业责任准则--第四章 -- 南方有嘉木

1. clients should be encouraged to be completely truthful with their attorneys, so that the attorney's legal advice can be based on all relevant facts;

2. clients will be reluctant to seek an attorney's advice if they fear that their communications will be revealed to others; and

3. by encouraging clients' communications with their attorneys, the privilege promotes voluntary compliance with laws and regulations.

我自己的一点想法是，之所以要赋予被告这样的保护，和对公权力的极端不信任有关系。
