Philip Becnel Seminar on Behavioral-Analysis Interviewing

Partner Philip Becnel taught a two-hour seminar on behavioral-analysis interviewing to the Washington Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights and the Equal Rights Center in Washington, D.C. These two organizations provide very important legal assistance to individuals in various criminal and civil matters in the District and elsewhere. Philip gave the employees of both organizations an overview of how to differentiate truth from lies in clients’ accounts of criminal, discrimination and other claims. It was Philip’s contention that even organizations dedicated to supporting civil rights have a vested interest in avoiding involvement with bogus claims.
