“The topic was appropriate for all of the states in which it was offered and was not “local law specific.” Good, practical topic.”

“Very substantive CLE covering complex topics including detailed tax questions. The best part was the ethics training though…the presenter identified many real-world potential conflict of interest situations and provided excellent sample materials and language to use in retainer agreements.”

“Not pleased right now. The Seminar was fine, but your administration is the issue. I clicked on the icon to get credit for the seminar and got no response. I followed up with an email asking for confirmation that I would get credit .....and, again got no response. I still have not.”

Thanks for the review, Margene! We’re glad to hear you enjoy our state-specific online seminar format.

“Each of the presenters in the 501 (c) 3 lecture was well-prepared and easy to follow. There were also several useful tips that made the course helpful to people unfamiliar with non-profits, and insightful for those of us who needed brushing up. The only change I would suggest is moving current changes in the law to later in the program, after basic concepts have been introduced.”

“The online seminar was extremely limiting and constrained as far as interaction and time allocated for each topic. The presenters were extremely limited in their ability to present the topic as a more national-oriented approach and refused to answer any state-specific questions even with information that may only apply in their specific Bar districts. Please begin providing these courses as state-specific or regional topics when discussing land use, zoning and real estate law and stop presenting these nationally. Use the state and regional law firms to present the topics for state-specific audiences as this current approach is worse than useless, it's potentially dangerous.”

“The Trust and Estate From Start to Finish CLE I took was valuable, however, the second speaker ruined it for me. I took the CLE because I know nothing about trusts and estates... this CLE was marketed as being a good course to take if you know nothing. The first speaker spelled everything out, which was fantastic, however, the second speaker assumed too much prior knowledge and didn't elaborate on the tax implications part of the course, which is arguably the most important part. He also didn't follow his outline, so I was stuck trying to understand what he was saying without a guide. I usually love NBI but this course wasn't great. I'm happy to have the outline, but now I need to find a few hours to independently read it to catch up on the material that should have been taught.”
