1. A search warrant authorized pursuant to NRS 179.11514 must be executed in such a manner as to minimize, to the greatest extent possible, the scrutiny of any property that is subject to the attorney-client privilege.

2. Property which is arguably subject to the attorney-client privilege may be reviewed during a search conducted pursuant to a search warrant issued pursuant to NRS 179.11514 to determine whether the property is covered by the search warrant if:

(a) The property is reviewed by a team of officers and attorneys who are designated by the district attorney or the Attorney General and who are not part of the underlying criminal investigation or prosecution;

(b) The attorneys designated to the team described in paragraph (a) do not participate in the search itself; and

(c) The team of officers and attorneys described in paragraph (a) do not disclose any privileged information obtained through the search to the officers and attorneys who are part of the underlying criminal investigation or prosecution.
