I do not get all the lawyer stuff, but I still do not get how a lawyer can file for someone who is not their client. I thought there was all kinds of stuff that had to be proclaimed for people to have that lawyer/client thing going on.

I can’t wait to see how they respond to Nagel’s statement that “As a threshold matter, as Defendants are well aware, Mr. Kanarek has a law degree, and any texts he had with his daughter which in any way relate to the incident are not only factually irrelevant to the case at hand, but potentially covered by the attorney client privilege.”
How can “texts that relate to the incident” be “factually irrelevant” ?
And the statement that because he has a law degree communications with his daughter may be attorney client priviliged is very reminiscent of the time I was at a client’s office doing a preliminary review of documents that our client would have to produce in discovery and was told by their not very bright in-house counsel that I should not review any documents in his office because if it was in his office it was “privileged.” He was not very happy with me when I pointed out that the New York Times sitting in plain view on his desk was not privilleged.
