The Law School is pleased to announce a school-wide client interviewing competition to take place later this term.\u00a0 This competition will be open to all undergraduate and post-graduate taught students. The first round<\/strong> of the competition will take place during Week 8 (W\/C 11\u00a0November 2024)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The final will be held on the afternoon of either 20 November 2024<\/strong> and hosted by Foot Anstey LLP <\/a><\/strong>at their Exeter office. \u00a0After the final round has taken place, there will be an opportunity to network with various lawyers from the firm, ranging from Partner to Trainee level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To participate in the competition, you will need to be in teams of 2 students.<\/strong>\u00a0 It is up to you who you pair with and so please only register your interest once you have formed your team.\u00a0 Each team will compete in a scenario-based client interview.\u00a0 The ability to interview new clients effectively in order to obtain information is a key legal skill utilised by legal professionals.\u00a0 Teams in the competition will be scored on establishing a professional relationship, obtaining information, learning the client\u2019s goals, expectations and needs, problem analysis, legal analysis and giving advice, developing reasoned courses of action, assisting the client to make an informed choice, effectively concluding the interview, teamwork, ethical behaviour and personal reflection.\u00a0 This is your opportunity to experience all of these different facets of interacting with clients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Teams will be provided with the scenarios ahead of time and so each team will have an opportunity to prepare before their allocated slot.\u00a0 Teams will be marked according to a scoring matrix. The four highest scoring teams from the first round will progress to the final.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The highest scoring team from the final will be the winners.\u00a0 The winning team will then be eligible to go on and represent the University and Law School at the National Client Interviewing Competition 2025.\u00a0 Details of previous CIC competitions can be found here –\u00a0\u00a0https:\/\/www.clientinterviewing.com\/about.html<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The winners of the National Student Client Interviewing Competition have the opportunity to represent England in the International Competition.\u00a0 Further information about the International Competition can be found here –\u00a0https:\/\/www.brownmosten.com<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is a fantastic opportunity for all students to get involved and to develop a key legal skill in the form of engaging with clients in a professional setting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Please note that the deadline for registration of the teams of 2 students is by 5pm on 28 October 2024<\/strong>. \u00a0Please register your team by emailing\u00a0mooting@exeter.ac.uk<\/a>\u00a0with the name and email address of both students in each team.
