Great practical suggestions that I plan on making part of my discovery routine. I really enjoyed Robert's style of speaking. I generally "tune out" during long meetings, but Robert held my attention the entire time. I feel like I will have an "edge" over other counsel if I put these techniques into practice. Excellent seminar…excellent speaker. The best. A very thought-provoking, practical and interesting seminar. Musante is very good…persuasive. Excellent seminar…excellent speaker. The videos assisted the teaching points…most important, they kept the seminar lively and interesting. A useful and entertaining seminar. Top notch speaker…almost as good as me. Seminar worth the money. Videos very illustrative and entertaining. Very good seminar…techniques have application to more than cross-exam. Musante is excellent…clear and entertaining. Videos are super. The seminar can't help but improve the quality of my discoveries because I will at least consider how to apply the principles. The best yet! A+ practical content; A+ instructor. Excellent. I especially appreciated the efforts made to adapt the content
to Canadian/Ontario law which is often lacking with other speakers from
the states. Entertaining, gifted speaker. Superior seminar. "A" content; "A" speaker. Informative, useful. Superb seminar, excellent speaker. One of the best seminars I've ever
attended. Excellent content…great speaker, very interesting. As good or better
than other seminars. Excellent seminar…excellent speaker. Better than most. Musante is like the energizer bunny ... very dynamic and entertaining. Very practical anecdotal information as well as good critical analysis
of real discoveries. High energy speaker…captures and holds the audience's
attention. Very practical seminar. I appreciated the effort to "translate"
things into the Canadian context. Excellent speaker! Excellent seminar…excellent speaker. This seminar was more practical
and more entertaining than others. Very good seminar. Entertaining, captive, contextual. Seminar better
than average litigation or practical examples/applications. Will improve
the quality of my exams to a great extent ... several years of "learning"
the substantive law and procedural rules ... little if any training or
instruction on techniques and skill, which is arguably the most important
part of practice ... excellent job! Seminar very helpful. Musante is the "Billy Beane" of litigation
theory, attempting to redefine advocacy skills we all treat as dogma and
open our eyes to a new way of thinking about examinations for discovery.
Best seminar. Very high practical content -- forces you to rethink "truisms".
Musante's teaching ability is very high, and litigation counsel are always
a tough crowd. Musante is vibrant and excited about his topic. His energy pulled me
in and encouraged me to stay for the entire presentation. Very good practical content. Loved the energy and even the metaphors!
Most lecturers put me to sleep by 3pm; you don't! Thanks. Practical and relevant. Excellent speaker…fast yet clear. This seminar
ranks amongst the better ones. Excellent seminar…it can be adopted and incorporated immediately.
Excellent speaker, clear and concise communicator…his points are
very effective. There will be a dramatic increase in the quality of my
examinations for discovery. Informative, very well prepared, thought provoking Seminar much better
than others I've attended. Excellent practical content, hopefully I can remember to put everything
I learned to good use in practice. Musante has an excellent rapport with
the group. Has the ability to communicate in a fun way. This seminar is
way above the rest of the crowd. Very practical seminar; the theory is helpful as well. Excellent speaker. A skilled teacher, very entertaining, keeps attention. My firm's money
has been well spent! Excellent seminar, very engaging, funny, self-deprecating speaker. It will be useful in the conduct of all future discoveries. Musante's
enthusiasm for the subject matter is contagious and his presentation method
(slides, sounds, movies) stimulating. Very good seminar, excellent speaker. Seminar rates on par with the
best. Top 10. Very high practical content. Novel but impressive speaker. My exams should
improve substantially. Concrete and detailed. Excellent speaker: clear, engaging, uses examples
and makes his points very effectively. This is better than almost all
CLEs. Very useful…excellent speaker. Seminar is far better than others.
Speaker maintains attention with enthusiasm and sharp examples. Excellent seminar, exceptional speaker. Far superior to any other advocacy
seminars. Very practical. Superb speaker. Seminar is as good as the best. Very good seminar and speaker. In the top rank, one of the best. Great seminar. The U.S. approach alone is good. Musante's approach is
original and thought provoking. I think that this is the single most instructive
and informative seminar that I have ever taken. Very dynamic speaker, very effective, practical, entertaining. Without
question, this was the best quality seminar I've attended. Excellent seminar, excellent speaker. Loved the crisp and timely pacing
along with the video clips. Seminar content was clearly communicated and well illustrated. Enlivening!
Fresh! Motivating! Dynamic and entertaining speaker...seminar very useful and goes against
conventional wisdom. Seminar far better than most. Excellent, excellent. Seminar ranks at or near the top. Outstanding seminar. Top 10%. My exams will improve substantially. Very practical seminar, also funny topical examples. Excellent speaker.
Seminar was punchy, colorful, arresting. The seminar will make me work
harder, refine my technique. Very useful seminar. Entertaining, provokes thought. Very direct, topical. Effective, direct speaker. Excellent seminar.
This seminar will definitely help to tighten up my questioning style. Fantastic, enthusiastic and to-the-point speaker. I've never before
conducted an EFO, but I've reviewed enough transcripts to know that not
many people follow the advice provided in this seminar and that their
examinations would be improved if they did. Fun, fast-paced, informative seminar. Excellent speaker. Very helpful seminar, thought-provoking. Engaging, persuasive speaker.
Good use of examples to explain theory. I have always instinctively felt
discovery should be treated more seriously, but have never heard it articulated
so well. Excellent seminar, excellent speaker. I will certainly re-evaluate the
methods and tactics taught to me by very talented senior practitioners
over the years, and hopefully be able to hone existing skills and develop
newly acquired ones. Top-notch. Excellent practical content; excellent instructor. Full of
content, nothing superfluous. Undermines all of the old myths regarding
the purpose and approach to discovery examinations and gives a pathway
to a new approach. Teaches effective questioning technique to get admissions
necessary for favorable settlements. Musante is a fabulous speaker, I didn't get bored at all; Musante's presentation
was fast-paced, informative and entertaining. Robert Musante's presentation of theory against recurring practical scenarios
and high profile cases consistently supported his theses on cross-examination
techniques. High quality instructor; keeps content interesting with sense
of humor, analogies and enthusiasm. Excellent and entertaining. Better than any others I've been to. |
