It’s one thing to simply read paragraphs of text on a practical skill; it’s another thing to see that skill in action. In this new edition, Professor O.J. Salinas provides you multiple opportunities to see interviewing and client counseling skills in action. Throughout parts 2, 3, and 4 of the book, Salinas combines his litigation experience and background in counseling to deliver an easy-to-read introduction to effective client interviewing and counseling. Parts 2, 3, and 4 of the book offer annotated hypothetical exchanges between an attorney and client to show what an attorney might do (or not want to do) while interviewing a client. And with the incorporation of skills assessment on the new licensing exam for lawyers, the new Part 5 of the book focuses on ways that interviewing and client counseling skills may be tested on the NextGen bar exam.
