Years ago, right after I graduated from college, I worked as a paralegal for several years. The attorneys would go to CLEs that were in their own field . . . and not really pay attention. And those were the days BEFORE ubiquitous cell phone, lap top, hand-held device use. Also, I wasn't sure how much information the attorneys were actually absorbing. I mean, presentations were given and material was handed out but did they use the information to change their practice? I don't know. Out of curiousity, Bookworm, what do you not like about CLE?
