Blog 14: Interview 3 Preparation

It's Interview 3 already!?! Wow, time flies fast!
1.  Who do you plan to interview?  What is this person's area of expertise?

I plan to interview a paralegal at my mentor's law firm. This person specializes in assisting attorneys with legal cases that go to trial. She normally helps my mentor prepare for trials, contact clients on their behalf, file and send important documents, and with any other matters concerning cases or in a law firm. 

2.  Verify that you have called your interviewee to schedule an interview.  What is the date and time of the interview? 

I plan to interview my interviewee in two weeks.

3.  Phrase an open-ended question that will help you find research resources that would help to answer the EQ.

What do you think a client needs to know when their attorney is trying to avoid a case from going to trial?

What information should a client know and understand before going to trial?  

4.  Phrase an open-ended question that will help you think about other useful activities you might do to help you answer the EQ (IC2, possible experts to talk to, etc).

How would one go about informing the public of alternatives to going to trial, such as mediation and arbitration? 

Who do you believe I should interview in regards to avoiding trials? 

5.  Phrase two open-ended questions that help you to understand your interviewee's perspective on an aspect of your EQ. 


Would you say that pre-trial motions are effective most of the time in avoiding a trial? Why or why not?

What do you believe is the most effective way in avoiding a trial?
