The Governor’s administration was properly ordered to release service description statements on attorney billing records reflecting the general nature of legal services rendered by nongovernmental lawyers retained in connection with an investigation of hiring practices. Such statements were not protected by the attorney-client privilege of KRE 503, and the trial court’s solution of allowing the administration to submit descriptions it believed to be privileged for in camera review balanced the administration’s interest in the confidentiality of privileged materials and the public interest in disclosure. Commonwealth v. Scorsone, 2008 Ky. App. LEXIS 18 (Ky. Ct. App. Jan. 18, 2008), op. withdrawn, sub. op., 251 S.W.3d 328, 2008 Ky. App. LEXIS 40 (Ky. Ct. App. 2008).
