Privilege Call — Meridian v. Orion Document Review
Privilege calls are not abstract legal questions — they are judgment calls that depend entirely on who sent the email, what role they occupied on that date, which agreements were in force, and what the court has already ruled. A model trained on this specific review knows the custodian map, the date boundaries, and the court's prior rulings. No amount of general privilege law knowledge substitutes for that.

Input
Email from Sarah Chen (CTO) to James Morrison (Whitfield & Associates partner) on April 5, 2024. Subject: 'Re: Source Code Comparison — Infringement Analysis.' Body discusses technical comparison of Meridian's proprietary algorithms with Orion's product, asks Morrison's legal opinion on whether specific code segments constitute protectable trade secrets under Texas law. CC'd to Rachel Torres (General Counsel). Attachment: 'CodeComparison_v3_DRAFT.xlsx'.
Trained output
PRIVILEGED — Attorney-Client Communication. Sarah Chen is communicating directly with outside counsel Morrison at Whitfield seeking legal advice on trade secret protectability — a legal question, not a business question. The CC to Rachel Torres (GC) does not waive privilege; Torres is within the privilege circle as in-house counsel. The attachment was prepared for the purpose of facilitating legal advice and is protected. Note: Although Chen has a dual-hat risk (CTO who oversaw IP strategy), on April 5, 2024, Whitfield had already been retained (March 15, 2024). Post-retention technical communications to outside counsel are privileged regardless of Chen's dual role. LOG: Priv-00183. Category: AC-OutsideCounsel.
