Katrina W

"This CLE was a great reminder of our duties to our broader communities. I appreciated the historical background and the focus on the Rule of Law and how our duties as lawyers can help uphold and defend the Rule of Law every day. "

Lori E

"The erosion of the rule of law in our society is frightening and infuriating. As a retired lawyer, I try to explain my concerns because I do believe our position as lawyers gives us a unique perspective on these issues. We cannot stay on the sidelines. Thank you for saying this out loud and reminding us of the importance of our voices. "

Roylee B

"The handout included everything. There was a perfect mix of info and experience. He took a stand and wasn't neutral. I received instruction that enables me to act."

Michael M

"In a world gone mad, Ducloux is a dignified " profile in courage " who speaks truth / facts despite risk of criticism, to a profession which is at least at the moment and in some respects, in pathetic decline. "

Kenneth B

"Overall good reminder of the basics. Oral presentation often moved too quickly and was difficult to understand."

Robert B

"An excellent call to our profession to lead by example. Perhaps a bit politically colored, but I suppose that can't be helped in the current climate."
