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.

In this session our faculty will introduce a number of scenarios that can arise during the process of interviewing. The participants will work in groups to discuss how they’d approach the problem in question [after which two members will perform a short mock-interview].

A participant from each group will give feedback to the cohort on their tips from the exercise.
