Not a day passes without a media report on a breach of confidentiality, a claim of attorney-client privilege, a journalist jailed for refusing to reveal a source, a medical or hospital record improperly disclosed, or a major business deal exposed by anonymous sources. \u003ci\u003eIn Confidence\u003c\/i\u003e examines confidential issues that arise in various disciplines and relationships and considers which should be protected and which should not. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cp\u003eRonald Goldfarb organizes the book around professionals for whom confidentiality is an issue of weighty importance: government officials, attorneys, medical personnel, psychotherapists, clergy, business people, and journalists. In a chapter devoted to each, and in another on spousal privilege, he lays out specific issues and the law's positions on them. He discusses an array of court cases in which confidentiality issues played an important role and decisions were often surprising and controversial. Goldfarb also looks into the criteria that should be used when determining whether secrets must be revealed. His nuanced analysis reveals how federal government practices and technological capabilities increasingly challenge the boundaries of privacy, and his thoughtful insights open the door to meaningful new debate.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ronald Goldfarb\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0300120095\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780300120097\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Yale University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/01\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.30h x 6.50w x 1.20d","brand":"Ronald Goldfarb","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48013721436415,"sku":"9780300120097","price":68.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_8f3d6d19-1d29-45ec-aaaa-dcd0344273d0.jpg?v=1767744360","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/in-confidence-ronald-goldfarb-9780300120097","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
