Testimonials
“I think all the speakers did a very good job of describing the cases with enough summary to not get lost in the details, but enough detail to deliver the point of including the case in their presentation. The presentation regarding the litigation funding case was very entertaining. For both Sean M. Callagy and Josh Escovedo, I appreciated the in-depth discussion of the ai related copyright cases, including the recently filed cases.
