Fall 2024 - An excellent class with a professor who made it so excellent! Professor Zipperstein is really great, I enjoyed attending every lecture and thought all material was applicable and interesting. I'm not looking to be a lawyer so much of class discussions or the technical parts of the class were a bit lost on me. In fact, I came in considering law and through this class I realized maybe that's not my path, because the lens in which my peers talked about things through didn't resonate with me. If you want to be a lawyer you'd love this class, if you lean more towards social justice through policy than you might be a little lost when everyone gets all technical. The course was very relaxed and easy, you really did get out what you put in. I agree with the other review, but I do think the class deserves a higher rating. Content wasn't revolutionary, but I definitely learned something new every lecture. Overall I would love to take another class with this professor!
