The Texas Center's second bi-annual Evidence Summit was held April 7-9, 2010, at the newly opened Westin at the Domain Hotel in Austin, Texas. Nine law schools tested the knowledge of Texas judges in a fun, challenging, and interactive Jeopardy format. The feedback from participants was tremendous, and we wanted to share some of the comments we received, along with a few memorable moments.
The judges said:
- Exceeded my expectations – time flew by.
- Very good – very thorough coverage.
Great participation.
- Best conference yet! I can’t say enough about the excellent quality of the
conferences
put on by the Texas Center.
- Interactive! I enjoyed the format.
- Open questions; wonderfully conceived
and executed.
- I had not attended an Evidence conference as judge and had heard from other judges
that this would be informative, interactive and fun… They were correct!
