Summary
This document is page 2 of a legal filing (Document 545) from the Ghislaine Maxwell trial (Case 1:20-cr-00330-PAE), filed on December 15, 2021. The text argues against a motion by the defendant to compel victims' attorneys to testify, citing Federal Rules of Evidence 402 and 403 and the sanctity of the attorney-client privilege. The argument emphasizes that forcing counsel to testify against their clients, particularly victims of sexual abuse, is legally disfavored and damaging to the attorney-client relationship.
