Description
A little more than 20 years ago, government entities in Florida lost the ability to invoke the attorney-client privilege in almost all meetings between the governing body and its government attorney. (1) Similarly, a little more than 25 years ago, government entities in Florida and government attorneys lost almost all claims of work product privilege under the public records law. (2) State legislation has attempted to partially restore these privileges, but as discussed in this article, the legislation is inadequate. These topics are currently being discussed in two separate forums. In January 2007, Governor Crist created the Commission on Open Government. The commission is directed to review, evaluate, and make recommendations regarding Florida's public records and open meeting laws. The commission should make its recommendations in late 2008. This author and the Florida Association of Counties have requested the commission examine the attorney-client and work product privileges in the public sector. As of this writing, the commission has not taken any action on this request.
