The Complainant alleged that the RIAC violated the APRA when it withheld a legal opinion drafted by RIAC's outside counsel. We found that the document – an attorney-drafted legal memorandum providing legal advice to the client, RIAC – was permissibly exempted under R.I. Gen. Laws § 38-2-2(4)(A)(I)(a). We also found that there was no evidence that the RIAC had waived the attorney-client privilege for this document. We found no violations.
