Comments

Suzanne B

"it had up to date case law that was inciteful and helpful"

Deanna S

"Speaker was very practical "

Susan W

"Good update "

Stephen C

"I found the presentation name was a little misleading to me. I thought it dealt with issues arising during an actual mediation."

Myra H

"The presentation was both informative and well organized. Renee did not waste any time and her willingness to advise in the future is very much appreciated. Unfortunately I was unable to connect to the program when it was on-line despite the best efforts of the Bar's technical staff. That is the reason for the rating on the overall experience. On the other hand, the recording was well done although some of the slides appeared to be on the fuzzy side."

Franklin D

"Renee knows her stuff and presents it coherently. The materials aligned with the presentation but could have been more fulsome."

D T

"Great speaker and knowledgeable"

Rita D

"I have conducted two arbitration hearings and I am always at a disadvantage understanding the actual process. This was extremely helpful."

Dwight W

"because the materials were good"

Ronald R

"To do good. Plus it had information previously unknown to me."
