Comment:
I had Ron Coffey as my faculty advisor for my law review note in the 80s. Thirty years later, I am still scarred by him. His rudeness, arrogance and condescending manner still make me revile at the thought of him. Yes, he was very intelligent. It was a shame that he let his personality so negatively impact upon his ability to teacher.

Worst professor ever. Brilliant man, but does not know how to convey the information he knows. Confuses students and nobody learns anything.

WORST PROFESSOR IN MY ENTIRE LIFE!!!! Does not help students understand the material at all, even if you are lost. It is almost as if he gets a rise out of confusing the hell out of you. He is a brilliant person, but he does not know how to convey the information he knows to students. AVOID TAKING HIM AT ALL COSTS!!

Like him or hate him, if you're going to litigate commercial cases in federal court, you'll be glad you had his class. Practice like every partner & judge is Coffey and you'll do well.

Laziness my a**. I got an A from this man and hated looking at him every day. He is needlessly condescending and nasty and I used to enjoy bringing in bagels and putting my feet up just to get a rise out of him.

Comment:
Anyone who thought this guy was a good professor needs to check their pulse. Quite possibly the worst professor in the university, far past his prime if he ever had one. I attended every class and didn't learn anything. I had no idea what was expected of me for the final and received no guidance and sought from the professor. The final was completely unbalanced with the time spent on topics in class. This university must not have any other decent options if they continue to allow him to teach.

Comment:
By far and away my fave teacher at the law school, not for his personality (obviously), but for his teaching ability. I came away from his classes with a blueprint for how to analyze the law - any law, not just the class subject - instead of a bunch of memorized details that would fade from memory. This has served me very well in practice.

Coffey is the best teacher at CWRU. His precision enables students to learn to parse statutes like no other. No one should be allowed to graduate without taking at least one course from him.

Comment:
Coffey's belief in his own intellectual superiority is disturbing and his cruel teaching methodology is that of a bygone era. He needs learn that teaching does not require instilling fear and that talking about how smart you are demonstrates insecurity.
