Comment:

Murph was a nice guy, but his class was a bit crazy at times. I would say that he was not very organized, but we still learned a good amount because he had such good experience in practice. Just don't freak out if you're not sure what's going on; he did do an okay job at pulling it all together for us right before the exam.

Comment:

Class seemed a bit scattered at times. What you really need to focus on is getting the laws verbatim: listen to Murphy, he will tell you what you need to know! The book of good answers is also extremely helpful! Not a terribly hard class

Didn't have a syllabus, very disorganized. If I had known going into the class it would be this disorganized I definitely would have approached it differently.

Comment:

He is a very nice guy and seems to really care about his students. Yet, his style is very disorganized. At times there is no logical pattern in his thought process, he is all over the place. He will tell you exactly what he wants you to know for the exam, so in all not bad.

A great professor. You will master the MPC and MA criminal law after his course. Rumor is that he is retiring, which is a shame because he is a great, great professor.

Great Prof! Enjoyable and interactive class. Always available outside of the classroom. Hard Multiple Choice - around 80. Make sure you know your MA rules perfectly.

Great Prof. and a lot of fun. Wants the rules stated and applied perfectly on the exam, but he gives them to you over and over throughout the semester - no need for supplements.

This was the toughest exam for 1L Fall semester, but the teacher is great. He will challenge your views, but he doesn't mind if you challenge his. Come to class prepared!
