Could tone down the plaintiff’s bar bias a bit; at times it is alienating and off-putting to the defense bar attendees.
Very informing. Although video did freeze at times.
Great CLE.
Judge Shepperd's presentation was most useful and most engaging.
I enjoyed the presentation, especially the stores and real life events.
