Client Interview Competition
The Monash Law Students' Society Client Interview competition is historically the largest competition for the year. In 2011 it involved over 60 teams of Monash Law students. The competition is particularly popular as it involves no specific legal knowledge.
A team of two law students act as solicitors with the task of conducting an initial interview with a new client regarding a mystery legal problem. The teams job is to tease out all material facts from the client regarding their 'legal dilemma'. The teams are awarded a score for their performance based on the number of facts ascertained, their teamwork skills and their level of professionalism. Monash Law students from all year levels are encouraged to enter.
The winning team will have the opportunity to represent Monash University at the 2012 ALSA Conference (held in the 2012 mid-year break).
