This course explores the various models of legal interviewing and examines the psychology of human communication in cross-cultural settings. By incorporating a more extended range of mandatory readings than undergraduate courses of similar length, a more research-focused assessment regime, and more sophisticated simulations, this course is designed specifically for students at the postgraduate level. In addition to being introduced to the theory and techniques of interviewing, students will improve their communication skills as they explore some of the more difficult issues that can arise in legal interviews. Their learning of the skills of interviewing will be enhanced by demonstration, practice, reflection, and feedback. Sections of the course will be delivered online and by CD-ROMs. This course is recommended for students who wish to represent The Chinese University of Hong Kong in the annual international client counselling competition.
