In Re: Queen's University at Kingston

I disagree that this court should create a new agent-client privilege. The presump*1303tion against the creation of. new privileges has not been overcome by any showing that the public interest will be served or that there is a real need for such a privilege. Congress recognized that agents' would not have the same privileges as attorneys, and no appellate court or legislature has created an agent-client privilege.- An . attorney-client-like privilege should not apply merely because someone is enabled to practice limited law before a single specific administrative agency.

Our federal justice system…
