Great Material! It keeps getting better every year. Thanks.

I really think this is one of the best CLE's I have listened to in years. I got nuggets of info to use even in other areas of practice. I also appreciate that each speaker made it a point to make it practical, informative, and interesting enough to keep me engaged.
