The University of the Sunshine Coast Law Associations’ Client/s Interview Competition

Summary

Effective client interviewing is crucial for solicitors, as it lays the groundwork for a successful lawyer-client relationship.  

During initial consultations, solicitors gather essential details that form the foundation of their professional bond with the client.

Each team has a specific timeframe to gather all necessary information to ensure effective representation. 

Afterward, time is allocated for reflection on the interview process. 

Competitors must conduct thorough interviews, record personal client details, delve into the complexities of the issue, and propose potential courses of action.
