Abstract:
Because an attorney-client interview is a conversation between two people, conversation analysis can be useful in assessing the effectiveness of an interview. Clients as well as lawyers have intentions and goals regarding that meeting which, together with their conversational styles, help shape the interview and contribute to its success (or failure). The lawyer is not solely in charge. This article analyzes two interviews by two attorneys, each of an extemporaneous actor playing the same client role. The substantial transcript excerpts are analyzed to illustrate some of what we know about good interviewing and to call into question other lessons we teach.
