Question

During discovery, the defendant disclosed two letters written to him by his attorney. The plaintiff argued that this disclosure constituted a voluntary waiver of the defendant's attorney client privilege and, as a result, the plaintiff asked to review all of the files and records of the defendant's attorney. The defendant maintains the letters were inadvertently disclosed by his paralegals during a large document request. The defendant argues that the privilege is only waived, if at all, regarding these two letters, and not as to other, related documents. Did the production of the two letters during discovery act as a waiver of the attorney-cllent privilege?
