If a client admits to committing a crime, that is not privileged information and it is not a crime to report that to the police.
In the US it is. Even if the lawyer went with the client to see the bodies of his victims, it is confidential. It is not confidential if a client tells his lawyer about future crimes. As far as US law, your post is a bunch of boloney or as TD puts it, you are equivocating, as Jeffro putts it: you are lying, or lying to yourself. All it takes is a Google search to confirm what I said. If you refuse, you are lying.I never said that violating confidentiality is a crime it is a civil wrong and the offending party would have to defend an expensive lawsuit.
