John Wiehn was great… a good mix of engaging teaching style and cop-humor for the Emerging Legal Trends and CSI Case Law classes. I never once found myself bored or losing interest. Very knowledgeable on national case law and obviously did his homework on Nebraska stuff as well. Very relevant and valuable training! The slides were factual and easy to follow, and the peppering of videos throughout helped break the monotony. The only thing I’d recommend is using yellow for highlights in the text instead of red for those of us who are slightly colorblind ;-)
