This document describes the legal battle of Matthew G. Yaeger to protect his client's rights by extending the doctrine of attorney-client privilege to the professional sentencing specialist.
Abstract
The paper is divided into four sections: (1) the Sentencing Specialist and Attorney-Client Privilege which summarizes the history and legal arguments of the Yeager subpoena case, (2) Media Coverage includes clippings of published articles on the case, (3) Pleadings and Memoranda of Law, and (4) Partial Transcript of Proceedings of the California Superior Court. The controversy surrounds the admissibility as evidence of the defendant's pre-plea report to Yeager in view of attorney-client privilege. 5 notes
