Ala. R. Privilege Collaborative L. Prac. 3
Waiver and Preclusion of Privilege
(a) A privilege under Rule 2 may be waived in a "record" or orally during a
proceeding if it is expressly waived by all parties and, in the case of the privilege of a
nonparty participant, it is also expressly waived by the nonparty participant.
(b) A person who makes a disclosure or representation about a collaborative
law communication that prejudices another person in a proceeding may not assert a
privilege under Rule 2, but this preclusion applies only to the extent necessary for the
person prejudiced to respond to the disclosure or representation.
