Fall 2018 - This course is a must-take for students with their eyes set on law school, but make sure you plan your quarter around its' workload. We read/covered dozens of cases, each of which required reading and parsing through many pages of dense legal writing. The midterm and final are very tough, as he asks you to apply lengthy rules/precedents set in each case to analyze three provided fact patterns, each in their own blue book. The midterm and final take up the entire class period (nearly three hours) and I filled all three of my books both times. Even though it was a lot, it was all worth it in the end. It's a lot of work, but the course is so interesting and enriching. This class was one of the few times I felt like I really accomplished something at the end of a quarter. If you can handle the workload, don't be deterred from taking this one-of-a-kind comm class at UCLA!

Like the last review stated, avoid this guy at all cost! He does not belong at UCLA. For Raffi it is just a game to get an extra good point on his resume. As you can see from grade distribution, he is super stingy! He tells students that he once failed at University level and had to go through some shady law school in Downtown LA and then transfer to UCLA. < this apparently his justification for screwing with people's grades.TA's are also incompetent and he is not available!
