Robin’s also a first-class conference speaker. Besides sporting an unusual name, the jazz-singer’s timbre of his voice and clear diction make everything he says memorable. I was going to say that’s an argument against online learning – but, of course, music can be downloaded and voice can carry over the Internet.
I’ve heard Robin talk, but didn’t realize he was a jazz singer.
Yes, even online there are quite a lot of talks. Semple Piggott Rochez used to have some free ones online, but I haven’t looked at their site lately.

I didn’t know he was a jazz singer either. It was just a stab at a comparison.
I’m also a keen fan of SPR. The law of evidence notes are brilliant, but only Part 1 is online. Mike Piggott, I think, defected in London from Holborn Law Tutors to BPP Bar School before shedding the traditional classroom image. All past students speak highly of his contract and sale of goods tuition.
