First portion was not too good. Last part was very good.

This was one of the most substantive, well-organized and well-presented CLE programs, video or otherwise, that I have attended.

Ms. Willis did a great job covering 3 important areas related to working with Spanish-speaking clients.

Great CLE, great series! I would love an entire hour on family law and domestic violence, this was a great start on terms but the more the better!

I enjoyed the Spanish lesson part, but the info about culture and using an interpreter were not that relevant to me.
