This CLE provides information on the different processes available to those with criminal convictions in Arizona courts.

Comments

Taylor H

"It was fairly basic, I learned only a little bit more than could be learned from reading the statutes themselves. "

Walter N

"Big difference in speaker volume. Some were hard to hear even with the volume up all the way. Always a drag when a speaker simply reads the card put upon the screen."

January C

"Knowledgable speakers but materials could have been more crisp. Also, it would be helpful to minimize the slides when people are talking."

Joy R
