A more throughout explanation: “To plead privilege” in legal terms means to assert a legal right or immunity that exempts a person from certain obligations or requirements, typically in the context of legal proceedings. This can include asserting a privilege such as attorney-client privilege or executive privilege to withhold certain information or documents from being disclosed in court.
Example: The attorney advised her client to plead privilege in response to the prosecutor’s question about confidential communications.
