great - virtual format worked very well
I would like to have more PPT material
Recent Developments in Admiralty Law was by far the most insightful course of the 2020 Conference. Sturley & Ammerman displayed comprehensive knowledge of recent decisions plus the comprehensive article was informative. Additionally, "What to do if your client is misbehaving," was informative and Dubose and Jackson demonstrated professional opinions and not mere generalizations of the subject matter. Judge Payne was excellent regarding "Effective Voir Dire." The section on "Common Mistakes in Maritime Contracts," was useless. None of the attorneys (Bickley, Doty & Young) prepared any written materials, were totally unprepared and basically bragged about their own past useless experiences. also,
excellent!!
