Truly the best CLE I have attended in the over ten years I have been a licenced attorney in Texas. The speakers were each excellent. I enjoyed the back and forth between the various speakers. The material was practical, detailed and clear. Thank you.

well done and thorough both for basics and current state of the law

great course/information

Really good

informative

I think part 3 was the most helpful. Specific provisions to use, specific situations to think about, rather than section 1 and 2, which were a little more theoretical.

very intuitive and helpful

Analyzing Your Contract Through the Eyes of a Litigator and Jury (Oct 2020)

Examine the common causes of action coming out of a breach of contract, review the state statutory and case law regarding common contract provisions, and understand different perspectives of the transactional attorney and the litigator on the same agreement so that you can ask and answer important questions that may change the drafting of the agreement in the first place.
