Interviewing and Investigating: Essential Skills for the Paralegal, Ninth Edition, provides a thorough and practical approach to helping paralegal students establish a strong foundation in interviewing and investigating skills. Experienced author Stephen Parsons carefully places that instruction in exactly the context of civil disputes, criminal prosecutions, and commercial business transactions where modern lawyers need assistants with those skills. Students learn how to identify and locate witnesses, obtain vital information from both public and private sources, and how to arrange and conduct effective interviews of clients and witnesses, both in the office and in the field. Throughout, the text uses explanations, examples, and illustrations along with realistic case studies with vetted student role-playing assignments to accomplish its pedagogical goals.
