摘要

1996 年,最高法院认为律师与委托人之间的保密特权可以延续到死亡之后,尽管这只是对下级法院和英国几个世纪以来所接受的做法的认可。但是,由于律师的委托人已经死亡,这种规则的自然结果就是特权--保密的法律执行--将永远存在,因为只有死亡的委托人才有可能放弃特权,从而终止特权。法律传统上并不支持永久性,这是有道理的,但长期以来,广泛的先例却支持将其应用于特权。然而,最近出现的一种新的心理治疗特权为我们提供了一个机会,让我们重新审视长期以来一直被容忍的永恒之谜,以及不加思索地将其引入特权家族最新成员的轻率之举。坦率地说,人类总是应该得到比傲慢地认为无限不可捉摸的法律主义更好的东西。

Secrets Clutched in a Dead Hand: Rethinking Posthumous Psychotherapist-Patient Privilege in the Light of Reason and Experience with Other Evidentiary Privileges.

Attorney-client privilege was held by the Supreme Court to extend beyond death in 1996, albeit only ratifying centuries of accepted practice in the lower courts and England before them. But with the lawyer's client dead, the natural outcome of such a rule is that privilege--the legal enforcement of secrecy--will persist forever, for only the dead client could ever have waived and thus end it. Perpetuity is not traditionally favored by the law for good reason, and yet a long and broad line of precedent endorses its application to privilege. The recent emergence of a novel species of privilege for psychotherapy, however, affords an opportunity to take a fresh look at the long-tolerated enigma of eternity and the imprudence of thoughtlessly importing it to the newest addition to the family of privileges. Frankly, humanity has always deserved better than legalisms arrogating to the inscrutability of the infinite.
