this was a good conference
I have been attending CLE courses for over 30 years, and this was one of the best organized and presented seminars I have attended/taken. I think spreading out the case summary sections was a great idea.Most effective was the case study presentation because of the way Judges Isgur and Jones stopped the action to analyze what just happened. Wilcox article is golden!

There were issues with the audio on several sessions. After clicking on the "I am Here" button, audio from another session would start playing over the session I was watching. To correct it, I'd have to go to the other session click in and out of it, then go back to the session I was listening to. As for the content, a bit too much banter on some sessions and not enough law.
Very well done. I am a recently retired bankruptcy lawyer and thought the course was relevant, practical in many cases and thoughtfully presented.
Excellent program with very current, relevant topics
good course

Great course; only wish it could have been in person.
I thought the course was valuable, particularly listening to the Judges, but the Trustees from the different districts. Case updates are always appreciated
Excellent and relevant topics.
Comments from the 2020 Consumer Bankruptcy Live Webcast
Great job on handling the technical side of a completely virtual conference.
Great experience, especially being virtual.
Really enjoy the 45 minute sessions.
Great job making it work!
The case law update is the most essential for the written materials. Judicial commentary is always illuminating. Electronic attendance was fairly simple. Having the written materials in easy access during lectures was beneficial.
