Privilege Logs
|
In the event that a party
withholds otherwise discoverable information on the ground of privilege, the
withholding party generally must provide a log of the documents withheld on the
ground of privilege. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 26(b)(5)(A) and
Advisory Committee Comments to 1993 Amendments. Any privilege log must be
detailed enough to enable other parties to assess the applicability of the
privilege asserted, and should include: (1) the name and capacity of each
individual from whom or to whom a document and any attachments were sent
(including which persons are lawyers); (2) the date of the document and any
attachments; (3) the type of document; (4) the Bates numbers of the documents,
(5) the nature of the privilege asserted; and (6) a description of the subject
matter in sufficient detail to determine if legal advice was sought or
revealed, or if the document constitutes work product. See RBS
Citizens, N.A. v. Husain, 291 F.R.D. 209, 218 (N.D. Ill. 2013).
The Court reminds the parties that the meet and
confer requirements of Local Rule 37.2 apply to privilege disputes, just as they do to other
discovery disputes.
