Item Description Back to top
Learn the tips that they don’t teach in law school!  A sole practitioner who has successfully practiced on both the civil and criminal sides will share his tips:
  • How to interview a client to decide whether it’s a case worth taking;
  • What information to ask for in writing (with some sample “client intake forms” provided for your use!);
  • How to evaluate when to handle a case and when to refer it elsewhere;
  • Interview techniques for the criminal defendant – is your client giving you the real story?
  • The “Engagement Letter” – what should it say?
  • How to “decline” the representation and protect yourself from a future malpractice claim
Recorded during a live webcast in July 2010.
