Course Description

Attorneys rely on company documents to provide the information necessary to win a lawsuit. In this course, you will discover how to compose documents that help — rather than hinder — lawyers. You will begin by exploring ways to accurately capture information from witness interviews. This includes the report of an interview conducted in connection with an incident occurring in the workplace.

As you begin to understand why these interview reports are so critical, you will examine how to assess and document your interviews in a way that does not put your company at risk. Do you have an unconscious bias that might impact the quality of the information you collect and the actual report itself? You will have an opportunity to take a self-test to find out. By the end of this course, you will develop or refine your skills in composing company documents to be able to confidently produce work product that the company's attorney will appreciate and value.
