The way we conduct the interview will depend on the purpose of the interview. An
interview with a client seeking advice will be conducted according to certain accepted
protocols and techniques. There are some basic techniques that will be applied in any
interview conducted by a lawyer. Implicit in these techniques are well-thought-out
principles which determine the structure of the interview and the style and content of the
questions. Our hypothetical client is a new client; we have not done any work for her
before.1
