Description
An interactive panel discussion on what leads to an effective interview. Discuss the preparation, skills, traps, cultural considerations and other nuances that can determine whether a meeting with a witness is a success or failure. The faculty will draw upon their real-life experiences to demonstrate an end-to-end interview, showcasing a good (or not) practice interview, what not to do and how to deal with unexpected challenges.
With opportunities for Q&A throughout, the discussion will establish practical takeaways for good witness interview preparation and execution.
