Piss away. Care to draft a better rule? How about "Lawyers can't break client confidence unless it's really important." How about "Anything I say to a lawyer is confidential but if you say it I get to find out about it if I think ideserve to." Or, maybe you prefer a simple rule saying that anything someone says to a lawyer can be disclosed, should be disclosed, or maybe must be disclosed? I have a better idea. Let's have a rule where people can get the best legal advice for their situation, and trust their lawyer that if they say anything to the lawyer, in order to give the lawyer the best information to make the right recommendation, that the lawyer won't betray their trust. Oh, wait, you piss on that entire mentality. Next time you get a speeding ticket and ask a lawyer friend for advice and say,"I really was going 10 over, but I think his radar was off, is there any chance of getting the radar test excluded" you can make sure to release your lawyer from client confidentiality so he can testify against you. You do think that allowing lawyers to testify against their clients is a good idea, don't you? That's what you're asking for.
