OBA PROGRAM | 12:00 PM to 1:30 PM (ET)

Sharpen your knowledge of the essential best practices and pitfalls to avoid in interviewing parties and witnesses. Our experts will walk you through key issues, including:

• Choosing who to interview, and scheduling interviews;
• Framing questions strategically;
• Recording or documenting interview evidence;
• Managing difficult witnesses, and attendance of legal counsel or support persons;
• Conducting interviews in a trauma-informed and culturally sensitive manner; and 
• Assessing credibility and reliability.

Plus, get helpful insights on notice obligations to respondents, fielding requests for disclosure and when witnesses should be re-interviewed. Join us for this second session in the OBA’s Conducting an Investigation: Critical Skills Series to build your interview skills.
