This may be the most informative CLE I have attended. The insights provided practical guidance to attorneys arguing a case on appeal.
This was the most informative appellate CLE I have attended. Will do so again!
Great tips for a young attorney...Keep it brief, sticks to the most important questions, and answer the question asked by the panel are great pieces of advice.
This program was highly intriguing and perhaps could have been longer than one hour. It is always helpful to hear from appellate judges. I especially enjoyed the comments from Justice Jeffrey Bivins.
Excellent and informative CLE on a common sense approach for the do's in appellate practice and a practical lecture for the don'ts in appellate courts.
Excellent program!
