An in camera review is a private screening by a judge involving a piece of evidence that is hotly contested.
In a negligence case, a medical malpractice case or a wrongful death case in New York, there are instances where specific pieces of information or evidence may be in issue and the only way to know whether that evidence is to be released is when a judge personally reviews it and makes a decision.
The judge will decide if all those documents that were withheld because of attorney client privilege actually contain any privileged information. (They don't.)
