What are the conditions in which a lawyer can? Upcoming bodily harm?

Depends on the state, but here is Illinois' rule:

RULE 1.6: CONFIDENTIALITY OF INFORMATION

(a) A lawyer shall not reveal information relating to the representation of a client unless the client gives informed consent, the disclosure is impliedly authorized in order to carry out the representation, or the disclosure is permitted by paragraph (b) or required by paragraph (c).

(b) A lawyer may reveal information relating to the representation of a client to the extent the lawyer reasonably believes necessary:

(1) to prevent the client from committing a crime in circumstances other than those specified in paragraph (c);

(2) to prevent the client from committing fraud that is reasonably certain to result in substantial injury to the financial interests or property of another and in furtherance of which the client has used or is using the lawyer’s services;

(3) to prevent, mitigate or rectify substantial injury to the financial interests or property of another that is reasonably certain to result or has resulted from the client’s commission of a crime or fraud in furtherance of which the client has used the lawyer’s services;

(4) to secure legal advice about the lawyer’s compliance with these Rules;

(5) to establish a claim or defense on behalf of the lawyer in a controversy between the lawyer and the client, to establish a defense to a criminal charge or civil claim against the lawyer based upon conduct in which the client was involved, or to respond to allegations in any proceeding concerning the lawyer’s representation of the client; or

(6) to comply with other law or a court order.

(c) A lawyer shall reveal information relating to the representation of a client to the extent the lawyer reasonably believes necessary to prevent reasonably certain death or substantial bodily harm.

(d) Information received by a lawyer participating in a meeting or proceeding with a trained intervener or panel of trained interveners of an approved lawyers’ assistance program, or in an intermediary program approved by a circuit court in which nondisciplinary complaints against judges or lawyers can be referred, shall be considered information relating to the representation of a client for purposes of these Rules.

So for The Good Wife scenario there isn't enough of a claim to "reasonably certain death or substantial bodily harm" if he's driving impaired?

I also wondered--the privilege must extend to agents of the lawyer, right? So Kalinda is bound too, right?

It's a gray area, I think.

Yes on Kalinda.

There seems to be a hole in the market for 12 Days of Christmas underwear too.

I want an Underwear of the Month club. Do those exist?

Frasier firs are our OT Xmas tree. I hope my new roomie will go in with me on one.

I'm watching my cousin's one yo daughter sort and dump. She's a cutie. And now there are bubbles! So exciting.

Oh man.

So I found a fresh turkey that cost 8 times as much as my overly brined one (and yes I bought it). But then I thought, we may as well make make the brined one because at the least it could be stock.

So we roasted the brined + injected one. And it is FINE. And now we are roasting the other turkey too. Double TURKEY!!

Have to make the bean casserole still and the biscuits. But Grace is here with us watching TV along with the family and Thanksgiving has never been better.

Yay for Grace's first Thanksgiving at home!

Om nom nom nom

FOOD!

OMG FULL HAPPY.
