Question 1: Civil Practice
1.
a. Exchanging of pleasantries with a potential client is important as it could
assist in calming a client who arrived at your office anxious/ in distress/
upset. It also communicates to the client that you have good manners and
creates a good first impression of you. It also assists in making you more
relatable and appear trustworthy, to the client.
b. There are various important reasons that a lawyer needs to maintain a
chronological account of facts when interviewing a client. These are:
It gives a courtroom perspective to the matter. In court, evidence
is presented in chronological order from start to finish.
Witnesses recount events easier if they are in sequence.
It leads to a higher level of accuracy and completeness.
When facts are arranged chronologically they are easier to
understand and the importance of individual events, in the bigger
scheme of things, becomes clearer.
When facts are set out in chronological order, additional legal
theories can open up, which might not have been clear at the start.
It’s the most efficient way to organise facts, which would in any
event have to be organised as such when preparing a discovery
affidavit, witness statement, etc. 1
