More about Rock N' Roll Law
"I have been suffering through CLE in various jurisdictions since 1982. I can honestly say this is the first time I’ve enjoyed it. It was both substantially informative and entertaining. I am not in active practice anymore but keep up my licenses. If all CLEs were this informative and enjoyable I would not think twice about maintaining active status. "
