The ability to participate with the class as witnesses and to watch others as they work through complex cases was truly a gift. Because of the need for confidentiality, most times we interview people by ourselves and rarely get any feedback on our interview skills when it is needed most — dealing with difficult witnesses. Thank you RT for this rich, realistic learning opportunity!
