The limitations of attorney-client privilege are outlined. The main rule, 501, places the rules of privilege within the bounds of common law, giving the courts some power over these rules. Spousal privilege is extended, but not in cases of crimes against spouses or children. The privilege does not apply if the spouse is conspiring with the accused to commit a crime. Other privileges include those concerning clergymen, attorneys, journalists. The self-incrimination privilege was extended in the Fifth Amendment.
Many of the privileges are part of common law and are thus found in both states and at the federal level. The standard privileges against self-incrimination, spousal privilege, attorney-client privilege, and privileges for medical practitioners and journalists are all widely held. In each jurisdiction, limits are placed on certain types of privilege for crimes involving children.
There are, however, some significant differences. The South Carolina statutes regarding privilege are fairly similar to those in federal law, but those in North Carolina...

The core concept is still that privilege is about controlling access to resources and using physical traits (the first rung of the diversity wheel) as the most powerful means of doing that. I just find that it is hard to see the point he is trying to make in this chapter because he is pretending that there is
We are dealing from a state of constant change and he writes like we're standing still. He's got us doing algebra when we should be doing calculus. The second point I find interesting in this chapter is the advice he offers (from another writer). Some of that advice is good, but some is bizarre. For example we can take to heart "don't make assumptions" or "please don't ask me to
Privileged Child The concept of being an over-privileged child is concurrently amusing and unsettling to me. To an outsider, being an over-privileged child may appear to be a life of advantages and comfort and a life that is free of the worry and concerns of "normal" everyday life. I have no need to worry if I can afford to buy the latest fashions, and in the future I know I will
Executive Privilege After Vietnam and Watergate, the issue of executive privilege had not registered much of a blip on the radar. However, the recent Enron scandal has allowed Congress to question the validity of the executive privilege argument.
