Members-Only Series: Client Interviewing
We want to help you maximize your client interactions and your ability to communicate their story. Join us for this Members-Only series to gain the insights you need to be an empathetic and effective advocate at every stage.
Refine your client interviewing skills in the first part of this Members-Only series – Client Interviewing! Hear from seasoned experts about effective communication techniques, rapport-building strategies, and advice that will help you understand clients’ needs. Join us to ensure you are gathering the information you need for a successful representation while centering your client. We’ll discuss initial intakes and first attorney interviews, trauma-informed practices, and effectively putting your client in control of their case among other topics.
Client Interviewing takes place on Wednesday, April 17 from 12:00 pm to 1:30 pm via Zoom.
Then mark your calendars for Wednesday, May 8th for the second part – Client Storytelling! Learn how to synthesize your client’s story and effectively communicate it to fact-finders or in policy advocacy and organizational reporting. Effectively sharing your client’s story is important to both seeking justice in individual cases and advocating for justice on a systemic level. We will explore how to communicate your client’s position in a way that helps the factfinder understand the facts and be persuaded to act in your client’s favor. You will walk away with tips for using emotional, metaphorical language to turn the events of your case into a meaningful narrative.
