After reading through that reference you came up with, a very good one I might add, at least for me, I see that conversations relative to the rendition of legal service were protected under strict construction of the privilege. (Or at least that's my reading.) This seems to me an important right as discussed there by virtue of the possible chilling effect that laying these kinds of conversations open to scrutiny would have on the progress of our judicial process.

As I've said already. It isn't clear cut. For instance, if Starr is seeking how Lewinsky's first lawyer was to be paid and how much, the ABA article clearly states that fee information does not fall under attorney-client privilege. Hence, it would most likely have to be disclosed. But other things might be protected. What and how much is protected will probably have to be decided by the courts.

Aren't you a little concerned that grand jury investigations can seem to go on unlimited fishing expeditions?

The Independent Council law has been shaped to a large degree by the Clintons. So now when it comes back to bite them on the ass they cry foul. Nope. Doesn't bother me a bit. They made the rules now they WILL play by them.
