Who should attend: Litigators, mediators, paralegals—all legal professionals who conduct interviews as part of their practice
Learning level: Fundamental/Intermediate
Strong interviewing skills are fundamental to effective legal practice—whether you're preparing a client, gathering facts from a witness, or navigating a sensitive mediation. But interviewing is also an art: it requires not only strategic thinking but emotional intelligence, cultural awareness, and a keen understanding of human behaviour.
This half-day program brings together seasoned professionals from diverse practice areas to explore the subtle and often overlooked dimensions of interviewing in legal work. From trauma-informed client intake to navigating language barriers, to managing reluctant witnesses and conducting unstructured mediation interviews—this course offers tools to help you build trust, uncover key information, and strengthen your practice.
Law Society of BC CPD Hours: 3 hours (this course will contain a minimum of 1 hour pertaining to professional responsibility and ethics, client care and relations, and/or practice management)
