Vogel is by far the BEST professor at Hofstra. He is not only an amazing teacher but is always willing to help his students in any way that he can. He can also take a boring subject and somehow make it fun! Take him for any law class and you get a good laugh. Work hard an you will get an A. We love you Vogel!

Entertaining, not boring. On the other hand, grading system is horrible. 25 question tests worth 25 points, meaning if you get two questions wrong you are below an A.. no curve either. Plus, he makes the questions himself off of the top of his head so if it's not exactly uniform to the book. This only matters if you're the straight A type.

One of my favorite professors of all time. I highly recommend you take him for something, anything. He was very honest with us, which I really appreciated. He also had many great stories to tell the class. I was always engaged. I will be taking another class taught by him even if it has nothing to do with my major or any of my interests.

This class prepared me for law school like no other class. Prof. Vogel was patient and detailed and the assignments were tough but his feedback was so helpful and his grading took into account the difficulty of the assignments. I wish I had taken him earlier, I would have taken all of my LEGL classes with him. Definitely take his classes.

I would recommend everyone to take him before graduating. Professor Vogel is someone I know I can go to if I need help in his class or with real-world issues.

Never thought i'd be saying this about a professor for a required class that I had no desire to take, but as a second semester Junior he's the best professor i've had at Hofstra. Had him Sophomore year. No doubt whatsoever that he cares deeply about his students - a difficult, but fair grader. One particular story of his forever changed my life.

This man is an absolute legend. Bros got jokes and is mad smart. Very passionate about what he teaches and you can tell so in his lectures. He's genuinely one of the best professors Hofstra has to offer. My only complaint is that Hofstra needs to hire more professors like him. Also, don't get the textbook. You won't need it.

Had him a couple of semester ago. I've seen students know little to almost nothing about law and then be ready to change their career paths to law. He's simply one of few professors I've ever had who cares about his students learning and if you have any issues, he'll help you work around them. Definitely recommend.

This mans the GOAT. He makes law, something that is very hard to grasp, easy to understand and manageable. Attendance isn't mandatory, but attending the lectures is vital because there are things that he says that will be on the exams. He's a great dude who enjoys what he does, and once you know him a little, you'll never want to miss his class.

At first, he may seem strict and intimidating (and it's probably because of his legal background) but he means well and wants you to succeed. If you work hard, he will recognize and you will be rewarded maximum reward. I believe he treats all his students like adults and expects you to act like one.

Prof. Vogel is hilarious and really makes law actually sound fun. He clearly cares about students, and his open-note exams and online quizzes are super manageable. Just be aware that while attendance isn't required, lectures are important for exams. Only downside is that he sometimes shames students over wrong answers, which felt unprofessional.
