Great instructor, hard class. I would be disappointed if he changed his teaching style just so his class can get better grades - it's not his fault, it's ours. Averages are very low for Law 1, not because of how hard the teacher is, but because the class itself is difficult. READ THE TEXTBOOK! Don't over rely on powerpoint notes.

This was one of my favourite classes to take and Brian made the class interesting and useful. Incorporated a lot of real life cases into teaching and small group discussions to discuss legal issues. You have to know specific sections of the law to do well on exams. It was easy to remember the law but not where exactly it was found.

He's an actual Lawyer so any questions you have about the law are always good to ask. Textbooks are pretty unnecessary if you pay attention in class and review his slide packages. Notes are minimal. You can tell he really cares for the subject and makes it interesting to listen to. If you have to get the credit, he is your guy.

He's the greatest prof I've ever had. I took him in my last semester and I low-key wish I wasn't grading yet as I'd love to take more of his classes. He is so real, extremely helpful, caring, funny, entertaining, etc. He makes everything in class relate to your life. After taking this class I feel prepared to face legal issues myself. Thanks Brian!

I love this guy. He is my favourite teacher I've ever had. His lectures cover EXACTLY what will be on the tests. He is a fair marker. You get what you put into the class. I didn't use the textbook for either of his classes. He tests on the lectures, but does have quizzes based on the text. I can't recommend him enough.

Brian is an amazing instructor, this is me giving feedback a year after taking in because I am in another law class and I just realized that Brian did a good job in helping me understand the concepts of law. Its crazy how I still remember Torts now and it is all because of Brian's examples and teaching style. Take him, you won't regret it.

One of the best instructors I ever had. His lectures are amazing. Was a pleasure to be in his class. It's extremely important to take notes of the cases he talks about in classes. For instance, X person vs BC, about xxx. All the cases mentioned, are part of the exams. In study guides, you should include the Sections of the Codes or Acts.
