Testimonials

Writing Better Judgments, March 2023, Hobart.

“By far, the most beneficial and productive program in which I have been a participant. Would have loved to have had the considerable assistance and knowledge which was imparted at a much earlier stage in my career.”

Writing Better Judgments, March 2023, Hobart.

“An absolute must attend for all judicial officers. This should be made mandatory as it is so valuable in our work. The course was intense in some parts but full of helpful information, it was not overwhelming and flowed nicely in its structure. I got a lot out of the course because no one teaches you how to write judgments – our work places just assume you can write proficiently based upon your experience. This is the most difficult part of our work but the course has helped my confidence in my abilities. I am most thankful as it will reduce my stress about writing judgments in the future.”
