How would you rate the value of the materials provided as part of the course?

I did not appreciate the tone of Ms. Davis as she made light of cases before the Supreme Court of Texas, expressed her biases, and begged for laughter between slides. I know other speakers act his way, and it is sometimes successful for them (unfortunately), but Ms. Davis represents Justice Boyd's chambers, and I was embarrassed for him. This is a shame, since she otherwise seems to be a very intelligent and well-informed attorney.
