Amazing professor, and wildly entertaining lecturer. Makes you work, but his expectations aren't unreasonable or achievable by any means.

He makes you work for the grade, but he does give good feedback on how to improve. Also if you participate, it can really help your grade!

Comment:

He makes Con Law interesting and loves the subject. A rare ability to take a subject that he knows about and translate for those who aren't at his level. If only more British Profs were like him!

Comment:

Had for both Con Laws. He's very enthusiastic about the material and that makes a world of difference I.M.O. Look, if you are a bigot / federalist society type, you might not like this class unless you like having your ideas challenged/dismissed. He's unabashedly liberal. But you will learn the material. He can be a bit pompous and aloof.

Comment:

Exam was ridiculously hard. Good teacher and interesting class, but often talks down to students. Slow to return emails. Be prepared for his grading - he gives out a LOT of C's, and he's very specific on exam (3 1/2 hour exam, by the way).

Comment:

He was the hardest professor I ever had at U of L, but he knew this topic and clearly conveyed it. I made an A with him and I was not an A student during law school. I've heard he was really hard for con law, and I also heard you learn it.
