The methodologies taught within this
program have been developed by lawyers who
have also distinguished themselves as
professional criminal interrogators.
John E. Reid was a lawyer who's innovative
"Nine Steps of Criminal Interrogation" have
not only become the industry standard among
domestic and international law enforcement
agencies but have also been favorably
recognized by the U.S. Supreme Court in
Missouri v. Seibert (2004). Fred E. Inbau,
former Director of the Chicago Police
Department Crime Laboratory and John
Henry Wigmore Professor of Law at
Northwestern University, was co-author of the
seminal text "Criminal Interrogation and
Confessions" which was similarly favorably
recognized in Seibert. Paul D. Newey was an
attorney, intelligence operative, and criminal
investigator spanning the U.S. Central
Intelligence Agency, Secret Service, Federal
Bureau of Narcotics, and the Cook County
States Attorney's Office. The instructor for
this program, Philip A. Mullenix, is himself a
practicing Chicago attorney who received his
training in the tradecraft of interrogation
from each of these accomplished lawyers.
The techniques taught within the Lawyers'
Institute of Forensic Interviewing are
fundamentals of field interrogation which are
used by America's intelligence community
and law enforcement agencies. Those principles have now been integrated with rules of
evidence, discovery, and trial practice for
their forensic application by attorneys in the
search for truth and justice.
Our challenge is to those lawyers who think
beyond traditional boundaries. It is they who
will benefit most from the Lawyers' Institute
of Forensic Interviewing.

Advanced behavior assessment interviewing
