there was a famous case in NY where a woman told her rabbi some confidential information, The Rabbi went to the husbands divorce lawyer with the information (She was breaking a Halacha)

The woman then sued the Rabbi for Clerical misconduct and the case went to the New York State Supreme court and the chief Justice ruled that the Rabbi was wrong, however he didnt break any laws in NY and therefore the woman could not win the case
