Regulates monitoring of electronic communications between incarcerated individuals and their attorneys.

The Effective Assistance of Counsel in the Digital Era Act aims to regulate monitoring of electronic communications between incarcerated individuals and their attorneys. It mandates that the Attorney General establish a program or system to exclude privileged electronic communications from monitoring. The bill requires a warrant for accessing such communications, with specific guidelines and limitations. It also ensures attorney-client privilege applies to these communications and prohibits certain individuals from participating in legal proceedings involving such communications.
