“In depth analysis of seminar topic led by obviously talented experts selected by NBI. I also love the unlimited number of choices and not having to pay extra to do as many as I want for $999.
Although I understand that NBI must verify attendance, having to click on the screen every 15 minutes to prove I'm watching is a bit much. Makes getting food or going to the bathroom risky since I could miss a checkin. Perhaps 2-3 times over 7 hours is more appropriate. However, I do recommend to all.”
Thanks for the review, David! We love hearing how much our customers enjoy their unlimited CLE subscriptions. Some accrediting agencies require more credit check-ins than others, but you can be confident that we set up our courses to make sure our customers get the credit they need.
“The materials and slides do not always ..rarely contain the statutory citation. The marijuana instruction is a happy exception as the instructors consistently referred to the staute [NYS Labor Law 201(d)] This pattern of not giveing statutecitation is a significant flaw as the statutory basis for the instruction is fundamental. It is not overly burdensome to provide statutory citations. Instructors are better about providing case citations which are also an imperative.”
Deb, we are continuously adding new CLE courses to our catalog, including state-specific courses. Be sure to browse our CLE course catalog periodically to see what’s new!
“Faculty/speaker presentations remain spotty due to video/audio transmission issues on occasion; however, the quality of handbook content remains very helpful and the practical approach taken by most presenters is very much appreciated.”
Thanks for the review, Gary! We’re glad you find the presentations and handbooks helpful. We’re sorry you’ve been experiencing occasional transmission issues and will be looking into it.
“The presenters and materials were excellent, I would like to see a program on the topic where some expert attorneys, perhaps the same panel, work through the business sale/acquisition process. Even perhaps, a much shorter program, such as one of the 1.5 hour lunch programs.”
We’re sorry that your remote experience did not meet your expectations. We will review the materials for this course and our Customer Care team will reach out to you to make this right.
“The CLE program was excellent. The presenter was well-spoken and very knowledgeable.
My only complaint is that NBI stated that the program was approved for CLE in Virginia, but in fact, it has not yet been approved due to a COVID backlog. NBI assures me that it will be approved, but that I cannot receive my CLE credits until it is (possibly months from now). I need my CLE credits in order to return to active status with the bar so NBI's response is not helpful. NBI's website should clearly state the approval status of its courses.”
“My only experience is a title law boot camp, the information provided in the pdf booklet was fantastic but 90% of the seminar were instructors just reading the slides, I was hoping for a more in depth explanation.”
“Many great CLE class offers for my state. Presenters do not always want to give their special tips on how to properly write a legal document to achieve the type of trust or purpose of the legal document and we continue to struggle with this issue. Those presenters who do teach us how to get the job done are superior. NBI continues to help to provide the samples and details we need in a CLE and I applaud them for that. However, printing up our own materials has a cost attached that is higher than obtaining printed materials from NBI that needs to be considered. Overall NBI is doing a great job and they do follow up with their surveys moreso than any other entity offering CLE's. Thank you, NBI.”
“In the day of virtual seminars it may help keep people invested with some interaction, questions, etc. throughout to keep the mind going. During the lectures the packet provided was much easier to follow with the the power-point copies vs. the outline of the topic that the instructor went off script from and was occasionally difficult to follow.”
