III.A. Attorney Client Priviledged Information

III.A.1. The aforesaid section of the Open Meetings Act permits a public body to meet in a closed session to consider material exempt from discussion or disclosure by state or federal statute, or which is reasonably related thereto; provided that the scope of the discussion in closed session legitimately relates to legal matters within the common law attorney-client privilege. Booth Newspapers, Inc. v. Wyoming City Council, 168 Mich App 459, 425 NW2d 695, 1988 Mich App LEXIS 239 (1988). Opinion of counsel addressed to client comes within common law attorney-client privilege protected from disclosure under Booth Newspapers v. Regents of the Univ. of Mich., 93 Mich App 100, 286 NW2d 55, 1979 Mich App LEXIS 2406 (1979). Even this written opinion is protected by the privilege as courts have consistently held that written opinion of counsel concerning open meetings law, as involving material subject to attorney-client privilege, was exempt from public disclosure under both Booth Newspapers v. Regents of the Univ. of Mich., 93 Mich App 100, 286 NW2d 55, 1979 Mich App LEXIS 2406 (1979).
