Wish there were more courses for in-house counsels- particularly in the marketing, advertising and food law areas.

I have attended and presented many, many CLE courses in my 17-year legal career and this was one of my favorite and one of the most informative sessions I have taken. I especially appreciate it now that I am no longer in private practice in another state and instead serve as inhouse counsel for a company headquartered in Tennessee. Norma's overview was incredibly thorough and her materials were very detailed and helpful for future reference. I now have a fantastic foundation for so many different laws that are critical in my day to day responsibilities. I also appreciated hearing Norma's practice pointers and warnings. I encourage every attorney that serves in an inhouse counsel position, especially those attorneys who are newer to their inhouse role, to take this course.

This was probably a little more basic than I expected. It did cover the topic well.

Very concise information.

Thank you for this good variety of information.

Very useful program.

Great presentation - I learned a number of helpful things.

Should be a helpful, general overview for corporate counsel.

The lesson on employment law was very useful, considering the amount that comes up at work and having not taken it during law school.

Really enjoyed this CLE. The presenter was very knowledgeable and had many useful and practical insights into the subject matter.
