Comment:

Over-assigns reading but goes slowly through it in class so its okay to be a bit behind. Really fun Socratic dialogue and class discussions. Makes you think through the tough questions and constantly makes you argue for the other side of what you think. This is what law school is about.

Prof. Heise is Da-Bomb! Best I've had at CLS. Too much reading and the pace is quick, but the guy brings energy to class and clarity to torts.

Comment:

Heise is "reserved outside of class" because he delusionally believes every female will bring a sexual harassment suit against him if he acknowledges their existence. He's narcissistic, uses inappropriate double entendres regularly, and spends so much time explaining things to the slower students in the class that you almost fall asleep.

Comment:

Brilliant. Everyone I have spoken to loves Heise. Great at what he does (here, Torts). He gives even a jaded law student a reason to get out of bed in the morning. Somewhat reserved outside of class, but otherwise incomperable. Truly a prize.

Comment:

Just an incredible prof!!! Brilliant, but wonderfully not full of himself. Think about it--Heise makes even insurance law come alive in class. Easily the best prof at Cornell. If you can put up with a lot of reading, take whatever he's teaching.

Comment:

Incredibly brilliant, *and* a great teacher. Easily my best first-year class--too bad all the sections weren't assigned Heise. One of best profs at CLS. Guys, you need to take a class from him. You'll work hard, but worth the effort.

Excellent professor, Education law was by far the best class I've taken in law school. Highly recomend his class.
