The defendant may waive the attorney/client privilege expressly by his words or implicitly by his conduct, but the court will only find that the privilege has been waived if there is a clear indication that the defendant did not take steps to keep the communications confidential. A defense lawyer's or a defendant's inadvertent disclosure of confidential information to a third party will not normally suffice to constitute waiver. If a defendant decides against waiving the privilege, the defense lawyer may then assert the privilege on behalf of the defendant to shield both the defendant and the defense lawyer from having to divulge confidential information shared during their relationship.</div></td></tr>
