How would you rate the value of the materials provided as part of the course?

Good multi-disciplinary information.

Excellent course and wonderful faculty members

Excellent Course. Covered a number of topics and did it well. Just wish there could have been a video of Professor Johanson. Only audio was available (but still great).

This is one of the better courses I have taken. Excellent speakers.

Good Material but I wish the website provided more details when you are looking for a good set of materials to use. Some presentations were in areas that have nothing to do with my practice.

As a UT Law alum, I love seeing and hearing from my former law professors. Great course. Great information. Your eCourses are so easy to access.

Great variety of content.

Topics are far too widely dispersed (needed to stick to topics that a broad range of lawyers will be interested in for purposes of this type of selection of materials). Goes from very specific updates on latest bankruptcy cases to an overview of E. Smith's career.

Nice bundle of CLE at a good price. Some of the material was rather niche but if the subject was your jam, then it would be especially valuable.

Loved each of the presentations, especially Professor Goode and Professor Schiess! I really love legal writing CLEs and would love to see mroe legal writing content in future years.

Great!
