Investigation and Evaluation Flashcard Deck - 10 Cards

Flashcard 1: What ethical rules govern a lawyer’s communications while investigating facts from a nonclient?

Answer: ABA Model Rules 4.1 and 4.3 generally prohibit material misrepresentations, require the lawyer to clarify the lawyer’s role when necessary, and prohibit giving legal advice other than advising the unrepresented person to obtain counsel. The lawyer must not imply disinterest or exploit a misunderstanding about the lawyer’s role.

Flashcard 2: How should a lawyer determine whether an investigated fact is legally significant?

Answer: Map the fact to a claim or defense element, an affirmative defense, a remedy, or a procedural requirement. A fact is significant if proving or disproving it could affect the legal outcome, required proof, or available remedy.

Flashcard 3: What should an investigative record contain to preserve the value of gathered information?

Answer: Under sound investigation practice, record the date, source, exact substance of the information, supporting documents or exhibits, and planned follow-up. Preserve original materials separately from notes and distinguish firsthand facts from inferences or conclusions.

Flashcard 4: What is the best general strategy for corroborating a significant factual assertion?

Answer: Compare the assertion with independent sources—such as contemporaneous documents, physical evidence, electronic records, or other witnesses—and investigate material inconsistencies.

Flashcard 5: When should a lawyer use leading questions during an investigative interview?

Answer: Leading questions should generally be reserved for clarifying, confirming, or testing specific details after the witness has given a narrative, because they can suggest answers or omit unknown facts.

Flashcard 6: What factors should a lawyer use to evaluate the reliability of a source’s information?

Answer: Consider the source’s opportunity to perceive, memory, bias or interest, consistency, specificity, and corroboration by documents or other witnesses.

Flashcard 7: What questioning technique should begin a fact interview, and why?

Answer: Begin with open-ended questions, such as “What happened next?” to obtain the witness’s complete narrative without prematurely limiting the answer; use focused follow-up questions afterward.

Flashcard 8: What should a lawyer do when an important fact is missing or uncertain?

Answer: Identify the precise information gap, formulate targeted questions or searches to fill it, and record the uncertainty rather than treating an assumption as an established fact.

Flashcard 9: How should a lawyer prioritize facts for investigation?

Answer: Prioritize facts that are material to an element, defense, remedy, jurisdictional requirement, or likely dispute, especially facts that could change the legal analysis or outcome.

Flashcard 10: What is the first step in investigating facts for a legal position?

Answer: Define the legal and factual issues that must be resolved, then identify the facts that would support, undermine, or distinguish each position.
