You Said It...A home run.

Speakers actually saying “do this” or “do that.” That was great.

Good—short bursts of information.

Breadth, currency, clarity.

The best thing about this course is the yellow book— it is indispensable.

It is the place to be for WC lawyers.

This program has been approved by the Pennsylvania Continuing Legal Education Board for 4 hours of CLE credit in substantive law.

SUBSTANTIVE CLE Credits4 ETHICS Credit [optional add-on]1Ethical Issues in Workers’ Compensation Practice (see pg. 4) has been approved by the Pennsylvania Continuing Legal Education Board for 1 hour of CLE credit in ethics.
