The COVID pandemic and lock-down has changed a lot of things, including the way we receive continuing legal education, as well as the way those of us who provide CLE deliver it. Live in-person is OUT! Webinars are IN!
Those who have followed this blog a while know that one of the biggest incentives for me to spend the 50-60 hours it takes to develop a new online CLE course is that NBI, who I have worked with for years, has been kind enough not only to repeatedly invite me to speak for it, but also to offer me an irresistible perk: an expense-accounted dinner at the Winzer Stube, located in Hudson, Wisconsin and rated America's 5th best German restaurant -- conveniently situated directly en route from Minneapolis to Altona, the home of NBI's headquarters and studios.
Hello COVID. Auf wiedersehen spaetzle and homemade apfelstrudel. 😠😷
The recording, done online from the comfort of my den, went remarkably well. In fact, because I was recording remotely, I was able to schedule two 1-1/2 hours sessions on consecutive days, rather than doing it all in one 3-hour take in Altona, which is a real workout. Even thoroughly prepared, the voice quavers, the mind wanders, and the energy levels sap after about hour two. Also, because NBI packs a lot into its agendas, recording over two days allowed for much better pacing. The reviews -- which modesty does not permit me to share -- confirmed it was well received.
Earlier this month, NBI sent me a promo code for anyone who wants to take this course. Using promo Code FPO50N will knock fifty bucks off the regular $299 tuition. How could I not share that with my readers?
