"Each presenter was knowledgeable and detailed."

Jane B

"very uneven. I thought I was in the wrong session in the first segment!"

Shiela S

"great materials and presentations"

Jessica A

"Over all great information but hearing from Judge Frazer at the end was really interesting. Only semi-negative is that it ended really abruptly without like questions. "

Rema A

"the variety of having a judge and private bar on panel and the ethics portion "

Kenneth S

"Most of the presentation had substance and was presented very well.... the boring stuff was boring..."

Victor P

"One of the big selling points for me was that it was noted the CLE would go over SIJS, from "start to finish," and there was NO mention of SIJS. T visa part was great, but sounded like more of an ad as to why everyone should apply for T visas. "
