Judges who have attended past Forums have provided the following feedback:

- “Rarely have I received such a comprehensive education in a one-day seminar.”
- “A fascinating and invaluable learning experience.”

- “The Pound Forum has become one of go-to judicial conferences I don’t want to miss.”
- “Because the Forum unfailingly presents noted speakers and legal writers who are tops in their fields, judges in attendance are able to glean a great amount of knowledge and depth on a significant and timely subject in a very short period of time. And the single-topic presentation and discussion format ensures a concentrated, meaningful focus. Just as important is the fact that judges can have confidence they are not being exposed to a one-sided view of the issue.”

- “It is routinely the best program I attend each year.”
