Comment:
Worst professor I've ever taken. His assignments are incredibly unclear and have almost no relation to his lectures or readings. He expects you to write papers about prompts you've never covered, and then wonders why everyone is doing poorly. It's a shame he has a monopoly on the Law courses taught at Hunter. (This is coming from an honor student)

Best prof I had at UCLA (1968). Brilliant, tough, provocative thinker, semi-Socratic method, not for faint of hearts -- prepared me for law school.

Not a very nice professor. Gave me a C on my Senior thesis and said I was lucky to have done as well as I did in Albany. I responded by saying that it wasn't my fault your colleagues had a higher opinion of my work than you did

Without a doubt the worst instructor I have ever had. He thinks he is a law school professor, but he is not. Wish he'd stayed an obnoxious hippy at Berkley and not moved to NY state.

Not a cake walk unless you can figure out what he wants, but if you can get it together by the second assignment, you will be gold in his book. Non-Zionists need not apply.

Had him over the summer. You will learn a lot in his class but make sure you are right when you answer a question if not beware.

This guy is hardcore. He is very hard on students and is stubborn. He has a seating chart and uses it to randomly call on you, whether you like it or not. If you even so much as disagree with him, he might flip out.

Edelman is old and crotchety. In his class it's his way only and don't even think about testing him.
