Abstract

Este trabajo propone bases conceptuales para caracterizar dogmáticamente el secreto profesional del abogado. Argumenta que este es parte de un arreglo institucional mayor que busca permitirle al abogado acceder fluidamente a los hechos respecto de los cuales sus servicios son requeridos. Para entender cómo funciona ese entramado normativo es necesario distinguir el secreto profesional del deber de confidencialidad del abogado, por la vía de considerar al primero como una inmunidad procedimental que hace operativo el segundo frente a un requerimiento de información por el Estado. En la medida en que la inmunidad colisiona con el interés del Estado por acceder a los hechos necesarios para el ejercicio de jurisdicción, su ámbito de aplicación debe ser menor al del deber de confidencialidad. / This essay proposes theoretical foundations for characterizing the client-attorney privilege in Chile. It holds that the privilege is part of a wider institutional arrangement aiming to enable lawyers to fluently access the facts regarding which their services are engaged. Understanding this normative web requires to distinguish the client-attorney privilege from the lawyer’s confidentiality duty, by considering the former as a procedural immunity that enables lawyers to comply with the latter when the State demands them to provide information. Insofar as the privilege collides with the interest of the State to access information for law enforcement purposes, its scope must be narrower than that of the confidentiality duty.
