Legal Professional Privilege. In civil and criminal cases, confidential communications passing between a client and his legal adviser need not be given in evidence by the client and, without the client's consent, may not be given in evidence by the legal adviser in a judicial proceeding if made either-(1) to enable the client to obtain, or the adviser to give, legal advice; or(2) with reference to litigation that is actually taking place or was in the contemplation of the client.... the rationale of... legal professional privilege... is not the protection of confidentiality as such, but the additional fact that legal advice is exclusively concerned "with rights and liabilities enforceable in law, i. e. in the ultimate resort by litigation in the courts or in some administrative tribunal.
