"The written materials -- compiled by Dr. Simpson -- are extensive. Dr. Richards was better focused in his presentation and answering questions than Dr. Simpson. "

Shelly T

"It was very well organized and concise."

Rachel M

"The information was interesting and good to know but it mainly focused on medical information rather than its intersection with legal concepts. More legal emphasis would be helpful; an attorney presenter being added would make it better. The speakers were good and the video elements were fun."
