Chapter 7 · 6 items

Six points, and the last three come from the chapter's third section.

Confidentiality under Rule 1.6 is broader than privilege and outlasts the representation, even after the client's or lawyer's death.
All seven Rule 1.6(b) exceptions are permissive as to Rule 1.6 itself; but once Rule 1.6(b) permits disclosure, Rule 4.1(b) then requires it where disclosure is necessary to avoid assisting a client's crime or fraud.
Physical harm needs no services nexus; financial harm requires one — know which prong you are applying.
Perjury protocol: three steps, Rule 3.3's remedial measures; step three (tribunal disclosure) fires only after one and two fail. Rule 3.3(c) carries every Rule 3.3(a) and (b) duty past Rule 1.6, not step three alone.
In a criminal case the protocol duty ends at acquittal; the Double Jeopardy Clause closes the proceeding.
Majority approach (not Model Rules text): client-delivered physical evidence goes back to the client or authorities. Rule 3.4(a) bars unlawfully obstructing access to evidence, unlawfully altering, destroying or concealing it, or helping another do so.
