What our subscribers tell us:
I've always paid slight attention to your articles but one thing I realized during my studying for the DUIDLA Board Certification exam (when I really paid attention to your articles) was that there is A LOT of really good information in your journal that is extremely helpful to my practice in general.
- Reid D., Colorado
"I have been going through some of the volumes. Lots of good materials. Very helpful. I’ll be happy to share Counterpoint with my colleagues..."
- Michael S., Pennsylvania
"Just wanted to start off by saying your journal is fantastic and I use it all the time to study in my field of DWI defense. Keep up the great journal work."
- Bryan O., Texas
"I’ve been a student member for two years, and was already overwhelmed with the value, but only in the past few days have I begun finally reading the Counterpoint Journal articles. They are tremendous. The specific article that compelled me to write this email is “An Introduction to Retrograde Extrapolation” by Deandra Grant.
I don’t yet really understand the science — I’ll have to read it several times when I’m less tired. But the article lays out what I really need even if I don’t fully get the science — exactly how to expose this pseudoscience that I instinctively know it to be to a jury. Thank you Deandra Grant and Jan Semenoff. I am now assisting a great Delaware criminal defense attorney, and because of you, I should be truly useful to him, and ready to go out on my own before long. You cut years off the learning curve. Thanks again for your incredible labor of love. Lawyers without this information are handicapping themselves."
- Patrick W., Delaware
