Course Description:
Fact Investigation II will focus on witness interviewing, including “ordinary” fact witnesses, expert witnesses, and some specialized situations (such as children and time-limited interviews). There will be some group meetings, but much of the work will involve simulated witness interviews aimed at developing skills.
The class will be divided into two groups: (1) students who have taken Fact Investigation I, and (2) those who have not. Group (1) will take the class for 2 credits, and they will not be required to attend any group sessions or do any simulated interviews for the first 3-4 weeks of the semester. Group (2) will take the class for 3 credits, and they will spend the first 3-4 weeks on the basics of witness interviewing.
