Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The attorney-client privilege does not permit a lawyer to knowingly assist a client in committing perjury. If a lawyer knows that a client intends to lie or has lied under oath, the lawyer has a duty to rectify the situation, which may involve confidential discussions with the client, withdrawal from the case, or in extreme cases, disclosure to the court if necessary to rectify the situation, depending on the jurisdiction's rules.
