Best Conference in a while
Excellent as usual.
Excellent, as always
This is a fantastic course. My only complaint is that I cannot claim partial credit for each presentation as I complete them. I have been attending the e-course as I have free time, but I have only completed about half of the course on the date that my CLE credits are due for the year. I intend to listen to the remaining presentations over the next few weeks, but unfortunately, it looks like I will not be able to claim credit because we're only able to request one certificate.
Great Program
Very thorough, relevant and helpful.
The Employment Law Doctrine presentation was disorganized and did not include particularly helpful information.
