Does anyone have any good interviewing simulations they could share with me that involve students simulating an interview of a child client (in any context- abuse/neglect matter, delinquency matter, school discipline matter, etc.)? Also, can anyone recommend any good readings on interviewing a child client? I am offering my Juvenile Law course as a professional skills course this semester, and I'm looking for a good simulation to use with my class. I found a good one written by Julie Waterstone (from Southwestern Law School), focused on school discipline issues, which is available in the recent Colker and Waterstone
