Sandra T.E. v. South Berwyn School District 100
Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit (2010) | 600 F.3d 612; 2010 WL 1191170
TL;DR: Law firm's internal investigation documents for a school district facing lawsuits were protected by attorney-client privilege and work-product doctrine, as the firm was hired to provide legal advice, not merely investigative services.
Legal Significance: Affirms that factual investigations conducted by attorneys to render legal advice are protected by attorney-client privilege and work-product, even for public entities.
