ABSTRACT
Every lawyer will conduct an interview at some point during his or her working life and, therefore, both the Law Society and the Bar Council require students studying the relevant vocational course to undertake some interviewing training. Even though there are certain differences between a solicitor’s interview and a barrister’s conference (the term used to describe a barrister’s interview with a client) the basic skills required for a successful interview are the same and, therefore, they can both be dealt with together.
