Cardozo Public Law, Policy and Ethics Journal
Abstract
The note examines the conflict between congressional investigative powers and the work product doctrine, advocating for a balanced approach that considers the nature of the investigation. It argues that the type of congressional investigation—legislative, oversight, or investigative—should determine the level of work product protection applied, ensuring both effective governance and legal fairness.
