Google The Courts Privacy

On Wednesday March 23, 2022, at06:01PM, msmash posted from the you-don't-say dept.

The US Department of Justice and 14 state attorneys general yesterday asked a federal judge to sanction Google for misusing attorney-client privilege to hide emails from litigation. From a report: "In a program called 'Communicate with Care,' Google trains and directs employees to add an attorney, a privilege label, and a generic 'request' for counsel's advice to shield sensitive business communications, regardless of whether any legal advice is actually needed or sought.

The DOJ told the court that the in-house counsel included in these emails doesn't respond at all. The DOJ said that attorneys often don't reply to the emails because they are not genuine requests for legal advice. The DOJ made its argument in a motion to sanction and compel disclosure of documents unjustifiably claimed by Google as attorney-client privileged and in a memo in support of the motion.
