Client Interviews 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.

The three highest scoring teams and one wild card faced off to determine our 2026 Client Interviews Champions, Graciella and Flynn who competed at the 2026 Australian Law Students’ Association Competition in July and made it to the semi-finals, landing themselves as top four across all of Australia and New Zealand!
