Professor Gorin is very intelligent, and overall the class is very interesting. You will definitely learn a great deal about the American trial system, which is extremely important if you are planning on a future in law. Yes, participation is a must (40% of your grade) but really if you add one or two comments a class you will be fine, just make sure he notices you and that you demonstrate your interest in the class. There is only one paper in the class (an analysis of the jury system) so make sure you work on it! Take this class, it is fun, fairly easy, very straightforward and the professor is very sexy (which makes it easier to hear him talk for almost 3 hours).
