duration of one session
Feb 25, 2011
Hi
Maybe I just didn´t read it, but how long will each individual session run?
And also, but maybe this is a stupid question, as Suzanne is Canadian, will the course be centered around English law (although I realise that it says English in the descriptions), as I suppose there are quite a few differences?
Thanks for clarifying.
Manuela

I know that it's not the same - for instance you cannot ask questions, but once you purchase a webinar you can watch its recordings as many times as you wish.

The discount (buy 5 pay 4) applies for the whole webinar series.

@Miriam: I saw you got successfully registered at 3:56 PM GMT - 4 minutes before the webinar started. @Irene: You got registered at the start time 4:00 GMT.
In general it may take a couple of minutes for emails to be sent. You must have received an email from GoToWebinar in the email you declared (check spam box just in case) You can still access even if we have started the webinar already. You will still get access to the recording.
