Spring 2022 - Professor Shuger is an extremely credible instructor at this University. She is highly knowledgeable about the class content and passionate about what she teaches. In this class, she assigns various legal readings which were actually interesting to read. The course is intended for pre-law students, therefore, it wasn't easy. There were dense readings and short weekly papers, but there was no final paper which you won't find in a lot of English seminars. Professor Shuger is also very kind and willing to meet with her students to help them stay on track with the course. The knowledge gained from this class will actually help students if they aspire to become lawyers. Yes, English legal history isn't American legal history but there are some similarities and trends between the two which can help any pre-law student gain some knowledge in the legal field before applying to law school. I personally genuinely enjoyed this class and have no regrets about taking it. It has helped better my writing skills and has prepared me well for my future career aspirations. If you're trying to find a seminar to take for your Senior seminar requirement and are intending to use your English degree to go to law school, take this class with Professor Shuger. It's genuinely worth it and you will learn a lot.
