The Crime-Fraud Exception in the Wake of ‘Gorski,’ et al.

Overview


Dana McSherry and Karen Eisenstadt wrote this bylined article about U.S. District Court Judge F. Dennis Saylor’s recent decision applying the crime-fraud exception in United States v. Gorski. The authors noted that the case “highlights the surprisingly low showing necessary to pierce the attorney-client privilege and the flimsy limitations on the scope of the exception.”
