Providing both a quick-reference guide to every evidentiary privilege and an in-depth scholarly treatment of each, Privileges and Protections: Tennessee and Sixth Circuit Law will be the go-to resource for lawyers and judges, both local and national, who practice in Tennessee or in the Sixth Circuit courts or who seek a comparative law resource to compare to practice in their home jurisdiction.

The treatise addresses each evidentiary privilege, ranging from the attorney–client privilege to the peer-review privilege to the clergy–communicant privilege, recognized under Tennessee law and Sixth Circuit federal law. In short, the treatise discusses the history, purpose, scope, and application of privileges that confront lawyers practicing in Tennessee and Sixth Circuit courts.

The book satisfies a void in current legal resources by addressing distinctions between state and federal law, providing important historical privilege development, and analyzing open or underdeveloped privilege issues and recommending appropriate solutions. This resource will benefit trial lawyers, judges, in-house lawyers, law professors, law students, and government lawyers.
