The purpose of an interview is to uncover the truth; the method of
uncovering the truth is the art of the interview. Obtaining sufficient
relevant information is imperative in everything a lawyer does to
protect the interests of the client, yet interviewing techniques are not
emphasized in law school training.
Getting the Whole Truth teaches lawyers--from novices meeting their
first clients to experienced trial lawyers--effective methods of
obtaining information by human interaction. No matter from whom you are
seeking information or what your reason for desiring it, these
techniques can help you meet and interact with others and effectively
gather the facts you need.
