The purpose of an interview is to reveal the truth; the method of uncovering the truth is the art and science of the interview. Obtaining sufficient relevant information is imperative in everything a lawyer does to protect the client’s interests. Interviewing techniques are not emphasized or even considered in law school.
This webinar will focus on methods discussed in To get the whole truth, where its author, our speaker, teaches lawyers—from novices meeting their first clients to seasoned trial lawyers—effective methods of obtaining information through human interaction are key to deciding whether to litigate and to running an effective trial. No matter who you seek information from or what your reason for wanting it is, these technologies can help you meet and interact with others and effectively gather the facts you need to decide whether to litigate, prepare for litigation or defend, and be ready to present evidence at trial.
