This course is always excellent
Excellent content and presenters. I also really like the eConference option so I could watch at my convenience.
Comprehensive
Wide variety of topics was appreciated
I found most of the course interesting and informative, particularly the topics regarding agency changes of ALJ findings and conclusions, as well as the SOAH cross-exam topic and the Judicial panel. Just me but I didn't find the agency spotlight or topic regarding health professional regulation to be particularly useful.
