You can easily get this trophy while a patrolman during the Buyer Beware case. There are only 6 questions that need to be asked during that case and can easily be branched. You will know when you got a question right, since Cole will put a check mark next to each topic asked if correct, an cross if it is wrong. Please see the spoiler tag for more info for 2 interviews done early in the game, while on a case called "Buyer Beware." Thanks Petedappa for the video.
