Mental Impressions Clause Samples
The Mental Impressions clause defines the protection of an attorney's thoughts, strategies, and legal theories developed in the course of representing a client. This clause typically ensures that such subjective materials, including notes, analyses, or internal communications reflecting the attorney's mental processes, are not subject to disclosure in litigation or discovery. Its core function is to preserve the confidentiality of legal strategy, thereby safeguarding the integrity of the attorney-client relationship and preventing opposing parties from gaining unfair insight into legal tactics.
