What was the overall quality of the course (presentation, materials, and technical delivery)?
Rate the overall teaching effectiveness and presentation skills of faculty for the course.
How would you rate the value of the materials provided as part of the course?
Frankly I was a little disappointed. Somebody made the decision to let what has consistently been a solid and objective review of the law/caselaw as it reflects to the practice of Admin. law and let it become infused with a lot of overt political posturing. Overwhelmingly one-sided posturing. If we're going to go down that path then it should be a balanced and objective presentation. Present both sides of the considerations and allow us the opportunity to draw conclusions based on a balanced presentation. I don't mind if we are going to sprinkle some of this political posturing in. It can potentially make the course more interesting and dynamic. I am generally independent minded and often see merit in both sides. But this was far too one-sided at multiple points. I would hate to see political polarization creeping into even our CLE's.
Please continue to offer webinar access to these conferences.
Appreciated the large amount of ethics credit and focus on of-the-moment updates.

Implicit Bias: What Your Brain is Up to When You’re Not Paying Attention (Oct 2023)
Implicit bias refers to the attitudes or stereotypes that affect our thoughts, actions, and decisions in an unconscious manner. Because they occur without a person’s awareness or control, they can have a significant and potentially negative impact on the day-to-day lives of lawyers and judges.
