Presenter is clearly a strong writer and presented well.

The presenter was very engaging and entertaining. He presented in the same manner as he was instructing the audience to write. This was a very good CLE that I took direct examples of improving my writing from for immediate use.

Active writing, not passive tense, is the best!

Good writing presentation.

Very entertaining and instructive. Holds your attention and provides memory associations for good recall. Very novel approach.

Absolutely fantastic. The program held my attention start to finish. I‘ll definitely be watching it again.

I loved it.

Enjoyable to watch and insightful.

ROMA - Role Objective Media & Audience was an interesting way to think about legal writing. Also, it seems like common sense but using less words is something that I appreciated the emphasis on. We often write more than we should.

Thought he was charming, and while legal writing can be boring he brought up a couple of things I will be doing in my next appeal.

Good tips and engaging but a bit long. Probably could have been 2 hours.

Engaging speaker.

I was afraid this was going to be too long to be valuable, but the presenter was quite engaging and gave some good tips!

Good reminders about losing the wordiness.

Great speaker, interesting take on creative writing

The grammar, passive vs. active voice and sentence structure portions were extremely helpful. Also, the details about being concise. PowerPoint will be a useful tool.

This is literally one of the best CLEs I've ever attended. Stuart's presentation was dynamically presented and held my attention throughout. In addition to the delivery, the content was outstanding. Great work, TBA.

This was a really unique presentation. Not sure this fellow is for everyone, but I certainly liked his personality.

This CLE reminded me of things I had learned before but needed a reminder and added some new ideas. It was well worth the time!

Very informative. Speaker was very engaging and held my attention.

Information about topic sentences was very helpful.

He was great- fantastic points in fun presentation.

Outstanding presenter.

A great way of presenting tips for improving legal writing. It was informative, funny, and practical.
