"I just got home from the internship. It was great!! I recommend it to everyone!! It was well organized and very educational. Don't go if you are not committed to being the best LNC you can be!!! It is not easy and the days are long!!! You work very hard and learn lots!! You learn to do chronologies and many other things. She helps you with marketing and the whole works. Always teaching in the most polite and easy way. You don't realize she is teaching you. My confidence is 110% higher now because of Rose Clifford. The other LNCs were wonderful also. Three new LNC friends. I took the seven day course, but you work the whole time, the week-end as well. The cost was $2,900. It is worth every penny. There is a five day course. Five days would not be enough time. I would do it again. We all hated to leave. Again, don't go if you are not really committed to improving your practice. I only intended to subcontract with other LNCs, but I still needed the interaction with the attorneys and their firms. The attorneys were all very good instructors as well."
