Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 24 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“In order to establish the attorney-client privilege, it must be shown that the relationship between the parties was that of attorney and client and that the communications were of a confidential nature. State v. Love, 275 S.C. 55 , 271 S.E.2d 110 (1980). The communication involved must relate to a fact of which the attorney was informed by his client without the presence of strangers for the purpose of securing primarily either an opinion on law or legal services or assistance in some legal proceeding. SEC v. Kingsley, 510 F.Supp. 561 (D.C.D.C.1981); In Re Grand Jury Proceedings, 517 F.2d 666 (5th Cir.1975). The attorney-client privilege also applies to communications originating from the lawyer rather than from the client. When the attorney communicates to the client, the privilege applies only if communication is based on confidential information provided by the client. Brinton v. Department of State, 636 F.2d 600 (C.A.D.C.1980). The attorney-client privilege, though, does not protect communications with non-clients. State v. Love, supra.”
