The purpose of an interview is to uncover 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 interests of the client. Interviewing techniques are not emphasized or even considered in law school training.

This webinar will focus on methods discussed in Getting the Whole Truth, in which its author, our speaker, teaches lawyers - from novices meeting their first clients to experienced trial lawyers - effective methods of obtaining information by human interaction is the key to determining whether to litigate and to pursue an effective litigation. No matter from whom you are seeking information or what your reason for desiring it, these techniques can help you meet and interact with others and effectively gather the facts you need to decide to litigate, prepare litigation or defense, and be ready to present evidence at trial.

Learning Objectives:

Differentiate between an interview vs. testimony.
Understand the purpose and basics of an interview.
Apply ways to build great rapport and identify if the person is telling you the truth.
Conduct objective and effective interviews.

Registrants of the webinar will receive a 25% discount on the book Getting the Whole Truth: Interviewing Techniques for the Lawyer with code ZALMA2023.
