Hi all,
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 textbook Special Education Advocacy, but I’m looking for a second one to use so that I can have each student take a turn playing a lawyer and a turn playing a child client. Any materials you could send me ([log in to unmask]) would be much appreciated.
Thanks so much,
Yael
