Ronald wants to hire ME as co-counsel in the case" Being co-counsel l need to interview Ronald and l'm not certain which questions to ask him I'm stuck and need help.

• Answer:

  If you are playing the role of the second attorney, some issues are why the first attorney needs help, how responsibilities are going to be split between the two of you, ethical conflict considerations (check the codes of ethics), and so on. Then there are the basics of the case: the underlying factual situation, what the specific complaint is, what affirmative defenses are being raised, what discovery or pre-trial procedures have happened, etc. So, the structure of the case, and what has already occurred. Any job interview basically boils down to who wants to hire you, what the work situation is, what you are going to do, and why.
