"None -- good presentation, well organized, thoughtful." (Charlotte, NC)
"This area of law is critical to understand in my practice as a civil defense attorney and mediator. There are still too many unanswered questions but I thought this course and the material did about as good a job as possible given the current state of evolution of the area." (Charlotte, NC)
