An excellent class with a professor who made it so excellent! Professor Zipperstein is really great, I enjoyed attending every lecture and thought all material was applicable and interesting. I'm not looking to be a lawyer so much of class discussions or the technical parts of the class were a bit lost on me. In fact, I came in considering law and through this class I realized maybe that's not my path, because the lens in which my peers talked about things through didn't resonate with me. If you want to be a lawyer you'd love this class, if you lean more towards social justice through policy than you might be a little lost when everyone gets all technical.

The course was very relaxed and easy, you really did get out what you put in. I agree with the other review, but I do think the class deserves a higher rating. Content wasn't revolutionary, but I definitely learned something new every lecture. Overall I would love to take another class with this professor!

Super easy class. Midterm essay, final essay, and oral presentation with your TA. All assignments you are free to choose your own topic, as long as it relates to the class. Lecture attendance was not mandatory most days, but was mandatory for guest speakers. Guest speakers were alright, minus some copaganda. Overall, not the most interesting course, but super light workload, and Zipperstein was engaging enough and really enthusiastic about engaging with students. If you need a random upper div to take, this is a good pick.
