TESTIMONIALS

“A new breath of life and fresh air into what is otherwise a difficult and dull topic."

Chief Judge Frank Q. Nebeker
Unites States Court of Veterans Appeals
1997-98 Chairperson, Committee on Continuing Appellate Education
Appellate Judges Seminar Series
Appellate Judges Conference
Judicial Division, American Bar Ass'n


"What a great program! Ron Hofer is a master at keeping everyone’s attention on a subject that could really boring.”
             
“Ron Hofer is outstanding! There is no match for his thorough understanding of judicial responsibility and process.”
 
“Absolutely a joy to be taught by someone who enjoys his work and has such a breadth of knowledge.”
           
“Ron is the best – his humor makes interesting what might otherwise be a very dry for learning experience.”

These are just a few of the unanimous positive comments I have received from the many seminars and workshops Ron Hofer has delivered on behalf of the Wisconsin Judiciary. Ron’s presentations are always informative and useful, doubtless due to the skillful and entertaining methods he utilizes to hold the attention of judges and lawyers.
 
Meeting planners seeking to deliver an excellent legal writing workshop, professionally organized and well-tailored to their audience, can do no better than to engage the services of Ron Hofer. It is always a pleasure to work with a consummate professional, they make you look good!

"In his teaching of writing to judges, Professor Hofer engages his audience in a meaningful, practical, yet intellectually challenging experience. He has adapted the concepts of grammar, sentence structure and effective writing to the demands of the judicial profession, while managing to make learning fun and meaningful. Professor Hofer understands the profession of judging as well as any of the great legal minds and thinkers of current and past generations."

President, The National Judicial College
