Would take again

Genuinely one of my top 3 professors in my 5 years at FSU. Incredibly good at breaking down concepts. Teaches you exactly what you need to know, no fluff, and includes anecdotes about his own experiences as a lawyer with each concept. Extremely funny and kind. Wish I could take a class with him every semester. Really wants to help students succeed

Only grades are exams which consistently have wrong answers in them. You must constantly review your tests with him as he makes mistakes on the test a lot.
