I thought this course was very helpful. However, I wish had also dealt with counsel (whom I have encountered) who manufacture rage, etc. even though they apparently do not have high conflict personalities. Also, although the lecturer said that you attached papers expanding on some of his points, you are not providing them.
Best session I've taken thus far. Real life impact on learning this topic and very grateful for this course. Thank you!
This was excellent for me. I wish I had seen this when I started practicing law. I will be watching again and again.
