Description

Directed by a grand jury subpoena to produce notes and other written materials prepared in connection with work for a client, a lawyer claimed that the attorney work-product privilege protected the materials from disclosure. The district court, finding that a "specific claim" had not arisen at the time the lawyer prepared the documents, held the privilege inapplicable. Because the workproduct privilege in this case turns not on whether a specific claim existed, but instead on whether, under all the circumstances, the lawyer prepared the materials "in anticipation of litigation," we reverse and remand.
