Comment:

Ridiculously bad. I was totally into Con. law until I went for his class. He has a worldview that only he fully understands and is at peace with. This class was an attempt at inducting us into his world. Only except a couple of people , no one was buying it. I actually began to hate the class in 2 weeks. But, it was a LCTH exam. No coldcalling.

A little boring but very smart. He likes bold, controversial statements on exams. The reading isn't essential.

Comment:

Whether you will appreciate Prof. Parker depends a lot on what you expect to get out of his class. He encourages critical thought about the the law, and examination its underpinnings. He is less concerned with the black letter law per se than how it is applied, whether it accomplishes its goals, etc. His class changed the way I think about the law.

This class put me to sleep. Great, nice guy, but not a very entertaining lecturer.
