Figure 8-10.—A Legalman assisting a service member. CONFIDENTIAL AND PRIVILEGED CHARACTER OF SERVICE Information   and   files   pertaining   to   legal assistance  clients  are  confidential  and  privileged under  the  law  and  applicable  professional  rules and  guidelines.  This  confidentiality  is  separate and distinct from military security classifications. Confidential   and   privileged   matters   are   not disclosed  to  anyone  by  the  attorney  providing legal assistance, except on the specific permission of   the   client   or   when   the   responsible   legal assistance attorney determines  that  disclosure  is authorized or required by law or applicable rules of  professional  conduct.  Disclosure  of  otherwise confidential and privileged information cannot be authorized  or  made  lawful  by  order  of  superior military authority. Other  attorneys  may  be  granted  access  to confidential    and    privileged    information    for supervisory and quality assurance purposes or to obtain  their   assistance   in   the   case.   Attorneys granted access to information in this instance are bound   to   maintain   the   confidentiality   of   the information.   Office   records   for   prevention   of conflicts  of  interest  and  statistical  data  can  also be   derived   from   information   provided   by   the client. If requested by the member’s CO or officer in charge (OIC), information on  whether  a  member of a command reported to a legal assistance office is  generally  provided.  Information  concerning  a member’s    presence    in    the    office    cannot    be disclosed,  however,  if  doing  so  would  reveal  the nature   of   conversations,   advice,   or   assistance. The   nature   of   the    legal    assistance    or    the substance  of  the  conversations  or  advice  cannot be provided without the client’s consent. LEGAL ASSISTANCE SERVICES Advice  and  service  regarding  the  following matters are normally available to eligible persons at legal assistance offices, but may be limited due to the availability of resources: 8-19
