Learned new skills and built lasting friendships. • I will highly recommend for future lawyers in our firm. • The presentations gave wonderful insight into leadership skills and motivated me to be a better lawyer. • Very informative conference with great speakers. • I found the interactive nature of many of the presentations to be valuable.
