Contains material from Jan 2022
great stuff... especially liked session III on the standing issues... I had no idea!!
Excellent speakers and content!
Comments from the 2021 Voting Law 101: What Voters and Advocates Need to Know STUDIO WEBCAST
Panel 3 was excellent.
Thank you for providing this incredibly relevant CLE! There are so few that are relevant to lawyers in government/legislative practice.
I've attended a few trainings in this webcast format and think this one went well. The first presenter had a small issue but I think it was their side, not the platform. I'm not sure how to fix that, except to see if the UTCLE staffer assigned could more quickly communicate with the presenter an audience about small hiccups like that.
Very one-sided, almost propaganda. Would be nice to have balanced presenters.
I'm looking forward to further presentations in this area of law.
