The Buckeye Institute Urges U.S. Supreme Court to Protect Attorney-Client Privilege
The Buckeye Institute filed its amicus brief with the U.S. Supreme Court in In Re Grand Jury, calling on the court to protect attorney-client privilege in the tax context. “The U.S. tax code is so convoluted and complex that many taxpayers understandably need to consult with attorneys to ensure their returns comply with the law.” There is no legitimate justification for treating tax-related legal advice worse than other kinds of legal advice, and this case offers the U.S. Supreme Court an important opportunity to provide much-needed clarity on these matters.
