Description
Maybe you envision yourself donning a Sherlock Holmes hat and cape. Or, perhaps, your model is the masterful Benoit Blanc of Knives Out Mystery fame. If only the work of a Federal administrative investigation was as easy as these fictional detectives make their jobs seem. Instead, there are more than enough opportunities for you to come out looking like a bumbling Inspector Clouseau.
During her distinguished Federal (and post-Federal) career, Roslyn Brown has seen her fair share of investigations that have gone the wrong way. It could be an investigator’s failure to interview certain witnesses, a failure to take a complainant’s statement into account, or, perhaps, an action, such as a widely shared email, that shows a lack of objectivity. An investigator’s failure to stay up to date with case law could sink a case, as could the inability to meet your deadlines.
Over the course of this class, Ms. Brown provides guidance on how to conduct a timely and effective investigation, while identifying the pitfalls that have doomed such efforts in the past.
Attendees will learn how to:
- Collect relevant evidence during the investigation.
- Refine their investigation skills.
- Identify the pitfalls that that derail effective investigations.
