RE: Lawyers Seek Pass From Privacy Law

I'm not familiar with the GLB Act, but from what I gather, the concern
is that this Act would actually preempt state privacy acts that may
confer more rights on clients? And what sorts of privacy rights will be
compromised here? Clue me in?

Lawyers Seek Pass From Privacy Law
Legal Times

Enough already! That's what the ABA and others will argue Thursday as
they 
ask the D.C. Circuit to rule that the FTC has no right to hold lawyers
to 
privacy provisions in the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act. The litigation is the 
latest sign of lawyers' fervent belief that state laws should hold the 
strongest sway over their professional conduct. Says legal ethics
counsel 
Michael Frisch, "When the federal government threatens to impinge on the

way lawyers do business, there is always going to be resistance."
