I wanted to express my sincere happiness at seeing your technical training centre come to fruition.
I am a legal technical trainer in the area of legal studies in the United States. My singular personal mission has been to advocate for more technical training for attorneys and students for legal studies. Unfortunately, I have not been successful in creating a movement towards a more technically enlightened curriculum.
I was thrilled to see your article and announcement. I wish you the best of luck and success and believe you are heading in the right direction.
With gratitude, Anita Evans
