Opinion work product: This is a term used to describe the thoughts and ideas of a lawyer that are written down or spoken about a legal case. It is usually kept private and not shared with others. This is because it is important for lawyers to be able to think freely and come up with their own ideas without worrying about others seeing them. Opinion work product is almost always kept secret and not shared with anyone outside of the legal team.

These materials are created to assist in the prosecution or defense of a pending lawsuit or in reasonable anticipation of litigation.
