Knows an incredible amount of Constitutional Law. To his law lectures he adds historical and philosophical information. His lectures are indepth and his humor makes a difficult subject a pleasure to study. Though he makes all student work in class, if you want to learn CON LAW take Dr Lorenzini.

Dr Lorenzini knowledge and love of the subject is obviously seen in every lecture he gives. He is a hard grader in a difficult area, but he is fair. I always hated history but this prof made me listen, discuss & even learn to like history! Still, if u expect to just get by, don not take him b/c he'm

Dr. Lorenzini's class was among the most informative I have had. He knows his subject well and he is a very fine teacher. Never did I see him dismiss students' thoughtful questions or comments and often I saw his love for history demonstrated in how he to made topics and controversies come alive.

This was an intersting but tough class. Dr. Lorenzini's knowledge os both wide and deep. The best thing about his class was that he summarized various historical interpretations while always seeking to connect what happened in the past with modern issues.

Had Dr Lorenzini for Crim Law. It was the best class I've had as a Crfim Law major. Tough class, but worth every darn book read, term paper reserached and essay tests taken. This is an A plus teacher.

Even though I'm not interested in history, I took Dr Lorenzini last year for Italian history b/c I was told he's a good teacher. Well, he is more than that. He made the class intellectualy challenging and interesting at the same time. If history paid I would change my major just to him again.

A learned much more than I ever ecpected to learn and the reason was that this teacher made each and every day intellectualy stimulating. So, even though his tests are hard, if you want to learn take Lorenzini.

A great class! I couldn't wait to go to class for each lecture/discussion was more challenging than I ever thought US history could be. Dr Lorenzini encouraged all students to think (whether they wanted to or not) about how to read the past and how to use it to understand the present.

Dr Lorenzini is a fine instructor whose knowledge of law and how it fits into our lives is unequaled and whose teaching skills are outstanding. I will certainly take him again!

Had Prof Lorenzini for Civil Law. He made this very difficult class interesting, if not anmy easier. He is a wonderful instructor who knows the theories of law as well as its everyday applications. Tough tests though. Still he is a must.

Just finished Constitutional Law. Hard class but learned more than any other class so far. Great teacher who knows his subject backwards and forwards.

A terrific prof! Has the academics down aas well as a wealth of experinec in the law. Loved his "socratic: teaching style. But be careful, he class on everyone in class and make them defend their position. Never had such a stimulating class! I give Lorenzini a four star rating. Only criticism is too much writing.

Had a woderful learning experience with Prof Lorenzini. He has a deep knowledge of Constitutional Law and a has a fine-tuned teaching manner He forces all students to participate and to think deeply about the implications of law and freedom in our society and in other foreign traditions as well.

A real professional. He made what could have been a terrible subject both interesting and intellectually challenging. I will certaily take Lorenzini again.

I was a science major, but after taking Lorenzini I am changing to either a Political Science or Criminal Justice major. The reason is simple. Dr. Lorenzini made me and everyone in the class think about how law tries to meet social, political and economic objectives. That is, he really made us think about our system and society and our place in it.

An tremendous amount of knowledge and deep understanding of his subject coupled with a refined teaching talent and sincere concern for students' learning made Dr. Lorenzini's class a stellar learning experience for me. I recommend him to anyone who wants intellectual stimulation and who seeks a deeper academic understanding of America in the world.

Had Dr. Lorenzini for Constitutional Law. It was the most challenging suject I've had so far. He class is a must. Lot's of work, but great payback!

Had Lorenzini for Criminal Law at SXU last year. Now in law school I find that his class was the best prep I could have gotten. Just wish he was teaching here at Univ of Illinois Law.

I took Professor Lorenzini for Criminal Law and Constitutional Law as well. Thought he was real good. Has a mastery of both subjects and is a talented communicator who draws in even the less interested. I'd say if ya want to learn law, take him. But hard on grades. p.s. has a great sense of humor and most pleasing to the eye, too.

Had Dr Lorenzini some time ago for Civil Law. Now that I'm in Graduate School, I can tell you that he was the best preparation I could have had. Terrific teacher! I wish he was at Univ of Illinois again!

I took him when I 1st started Criminal Justice. Then I thought he was way too hard for Intro with all the extra reading and demands that we always be ready to answer questions about everything we read. But now that I'm finished and working in the field I appreciate how well he prepared me. If you're thinkin about CJ, take him.

I took Lorenzini for Civil Law some time ago. Now I am in the "real" world, but I'm thankful I had him. He was the best! Great lectures filled with law and its pratical applications. I'll take him again if I ever get the chance.

Great class, informative and makes ya think. Video selection could be better, though.

Great Professor, Very knowledgeable. No homework. Class is easy to pass if you study for midterm, final, and do well on final paper. Read and take notes!! Tells you everything ahead of time. You have to be criminally stupid to not pass this class!!

Makes the class as interesting as possible. Lets face it, sitting in a classroom for 3 hours listening to a history lecture is never fun but he gets your attention. Dont expect any replies to emails. Take notes and do some reading and you will be fine in the class.

By far the best teacher I've had! Learned more from Dr. Lorenzini than from most any other professor here or at Uinv of Ill. I wish I were a Law major just so I could take more of his classes. He was always ready to help. He is one of the only profs to hold office hours and to answer my e-mails.

I never liked history but Loreznini made ach class so intellectualy stimulating that I couldn;t wait to get there! Strange as it seems to me, I came out of lectures thinking history really means something to my life. But, beware, he is a demanding teacher, lots of reading, requires all to participate in class by answering questions daily.

Never thought a law class would be so interesting. Lorenzini puts his considerable teaching skills to work connecting constitutional law to everyday realities. Real good class.

Stimulating and challenging, made me think critically about law and freedom, great lectures, terrific instructor. Gets an A plus from this student.

Dr. Lorenzini knows the subject thru and thru. His lectures are very interesting. Historical facts are used as a background to discuss historical causes. Also, while I don't like his tests, his essay tests were fair. If you want to know history take him but beware of the heavy workload. The research paper was too much.

I am so happy I took this class with him. He is such a wonderful teacher with a vast amount of knowledge about anything that relates to history. I left this class having a great deal of appreciation and respect for history. One of the best teachers I've encountered in a long time. He also has a great sense of humor and a vast array of funny shirts.

I had Dr. Lorenzini for Crim Law. He was the greatest. Now I'm taking him for Constitutional Law and I'm glad I am. This subject is not your typical CJ class. He connects law and legal opinions to principles of justice. His reading list is tough and tests are tough too but when your done with class u know the the suject backwards n forwards.

Dr. Lorenzini is the best teacher here. His lectures are filled with thoughtful observations, questions and criticisms and even a good deal of humor. He makes everone in class think about the subject and how it will impact us as members of society as well as CJ majors. It was a pleasure to have him as a teacher.

A great experience! I never thouyght I could see history as meaningful. But taking Dr. Lorenzini made me change my mind. His lectures and questions were always thought provoking. His tests were real tough but fair. Grading is tough too, but do the readings, study for the exams and do serious work on the research paper you & you'll fine.

Professor Lorenzini made American History after the Civil War pretty interesting. He kept my interest most of the time and didnt make the three hour class very boring. He is a very nice guy. He will let you slide on a lot of things and the tests were pretty damn easy if you payed attention in class. I recieved an A, but i know a lot about history

I really like Dr. Lorenzini. He's real smart and he's helpful too. History is not my subject, no way! But he made me think about how the present looks to the past and how the past is in the present. I'd take him again.

Really interesting class. Much work but worth the effort. He is a very dynamic teacher. U will love his lectures. Take him for a view of history which not only makes it interesting but also ties the past to the present. Gets a "real cool" from me.

His tesrs are REAL tough, but fair. Spellbinding lectures filled with many real life examples. He gets an A from me.

Got to say, I took this class expecting to be bored, at best. But have come out of it with a respect for both the material and for the professor. He covers the hardest legal concepts and constitutional philosophies with clarity. And he is a fair tester and grader. I would certainly tell anyone to take his classes.

Loved his class presentations which always involve students' critical assessments of legal cases & social & political realities behind "the rules." Best of all, his tests are clear and grades are fair. He tested us on what he told us we needed to know and that's pretty good from my expereience.

Tough class but prof gives great lectures and has an impressive knowledge of history and society. I'd say take him if you want to learn and are ready to read until midnight and discuss the material in class.

A great class with a classy prof! His method of teaching makes students think, analyze, talk & debate every topic covered. The only thing I'd wish for is less writing. But still I'd take Lorenzini again.

Just got done with one of Lorenzini's killer tests! But got to say, Lorenzini prepared us real well and it was a fair test. Still, what's with giving us a bit of a break given all the reading & major term paper requirments!

Lorenzini's Constitutional Law class is stimulating! He forces everybody to address leading Supreme Court cases and connect them to the social and political debates which he insists they reflect. The class is worth all the effort he makes you put in, but I do wish he would assign less reading.

Loved Criminal Law with Dr. Lorenzini. The class was simply inspirational!

Take him, he's really easy. You don't ever have to read the book. He gives good lectures. He just has a midterm & final, and for both he gives you a detailed study guide with EVERTHING that will be on it. He has a much more traditional approach compared to the other history teachers, I loved it. I can't imagine how anyone could get lower than a B!

A difficult class, but I learned so much! Really a great teacher.

I've had many college classes, but this was the most difficult and yet most interesting class I have ever had. Maybe it was hard for me because I'm a math and science major. Anyway, Lorenzini is a great teacher. Take him for anything he teaches!

The Crim Law class got to be one of the best classes I've had. Simply superb! But one cautionary note: lots of reading and Professor Lorenzini makes you work and work and work. He will challenge you every which way.

I had Professor Lorenzini a few semesters ago for Italian history. It was a challenging class, lots of reading, writing and discussion. Now that I've finished graduate school I look back and see that classes like Lorenzini's not only made me see a wider world but prepared me for graduate studies as well. So, take take Lorenzini, he's worth it.

Lorenzini's Constitutional Law class is the hardest course I've had but also the most interesting. He knows how to make a difficult subject worth taking because he makes it intellectually stimulating. Lorenzini's Constitutional Law is a must for anyone wanting to major in CJ or law, or studying history or political science.

Enjoyed Criminal law with Dr. Lorenzini. His experience shows in how he teaches and also in his knowledge of criminal law. But best thing is he compares Illinois criminal law to other states' and other country's Criminal laws. Then he speaks about notions of what was thought criminal and what was not in varied centuries. Really a class act!

I had Professor Lorenzini for Civil Law. At 1st I thought, why do we have to take Torts?! But now, looking back, I am so glad I took Torts with Lorenzini! His knowledge of torts law & real world knowledge of how Illinois torts system & civil courts work gave me a step up in law school AND also helped me in my own personal injury case.

Just finished Lorenzini's final. It was the toughest test I've ever taken. He is a tough teacher but always fair. I learned so much in his class that I can't wait to take him again next year!

Had Dr. Lorenzini for Constitutional Law. It was rewarding. Coming back to college after a decade of working, I was afraid I'd be bored. Not at all! Dr. Lorenzini is very knowledgable, often humorous, and always gentleman. I not only learned constitutional law but also its jurisprudence as well how it is actually applied on the "streets".

This constitutional law class made my whole year the best I've had so far. The class was challenging and interesting. And even though every night session was long, it was a pleasure to attend.

Dr. Lorenzini is one of the best professors at SXU. Take him, he's a must!

I learned so much about the subject and also about how it relates to our everyday lives. All in all, a terrific learning experience!

Great class with a classy professor.

I started out class at SXU- Chicago Police Academy without expecting much. The professor made known that he expected much from us and in the end he made the subject intellectually stimulating to us all. Added to this was Lorenzini's great teaching which he combined with the real world experience he's gained as a lawyer. I give this class an A.

I agree with my CPA colleague. Dr Lorenzini is a gotta have teacher. Though like all college professors he focuses mainly on theory, he also mixes in experience. And he is the only teacher who not only has students fill out the university student evaluations but also encourages us to fill out Online teacher surveys like this one.

Liked the subject and especially the professor's teaching style. I'd take him again for sure!

Liked the class and the prof a whole lot! It was especially refreshing that he has book smarts and also experience in the field.

Thought the class would be easy and boring. But it tured out to be a tough class and the prof made it a interesting. It was worth all the effort I had to put into it.

He teaches Civil, Constitutional, and Criminal Law. The classes are very hard, but if you read and pay attention you can pass. He teaches these classes the same as taught in a law school. If you want to go to law school take him and you'll see what a JD class looks like. Difficult but fair and will take time to explain things to you.

He is a wonderful professor. His classes are tough but he makes class fun and interesting. I liked him so much I am taking another class with him. GREAT professor!

Though I am a Philosophy major and not a law or criminal justice major, this was my favorite class all year because we addressed theories as they applied to reality. The teacher is demanding but fair and he has a wealth of knowledge. He is simply a master at his craft.

I started class with a "Good Lord" I gotta take History!! But I ended up realizing so much about what's important and much of us. He told us that the past does matter because it impact us every day. And Dr Lorenzini was really right. I now look at my life as part of a bigger picture.

Took him years ago but he's one of the few professors worth remembering at that school. I aced both Civil Law and Con Law but he made me work for it. Really a bright guy and very practical. The classes are tough but fair which is a lot more than I can say for that Abadinsky who gave me two "C's" and screwed my GPA just because I skipped class.

I took this class and it was very easy. There are two tests (midterm & final) which he tells you what to study for, I got B+ on both. I studied the morning of. The only homework assignments you get are Case Briefs, which are super easy and half a page long. Plus, he is awesome and funny. You will enjoy class. My favorite CJ professor as of 2016.

I took Dr Lorenzini without knowing much about the subject or him as a teacher. I quickly found out that he is by far the best teacher I have ever had at either this university or the University of Illinois where I also had been a student. He is demanding, knows the theory and practice very well. And he is a fair grader, if a tough one

I took this class not expecting very much as I was not interested in the subject but the credits were necessary and class time worked. But soon I found myself really liking the subject because of the teacher's amazing lectures. His stye is to cover a wide number of topics which are related to the day's lecture.

Dr. Lorenzini is a master teacher who combines a great sense of humor with an incredible knowledge about criminal law. He always takes time to explain the connections between theory and practice. Plus he compares US criminal law with other countries as well. This is an awesome class with a classy professor. Take him, it's a must

I too Law, Courts and Justice class with Professor Lorenzini because I was told he was a good teacher. Happily this was true, but more than that, Dr. Lorenzini took time to explain the basic information, but he also made us critically analyze what the experts said about the multiple topics covered. Great class, great prof

I took the class out of interest and his lectures inspired me to consider changing my major to Criminal Justice

He is a really great professor his lectures are really funny and he relates the material to his real life court cases. It is a very interesting class and he did not give out a lot of work.

I took this class on Courts and Justice not expecting much. But Dr. Lorenzini showed a combination of knowledge and inspirational which was contagious. I recommend this professor to everyone and anyone interested in law and its relationship to society.

This was the most challenging class I have had so far at the university. But, the teacher is nothing less than terrific. He knows the subject totally, is concerned with student understanding and works hard to make each class interesting. tough grader, though. But I'd take him again because the challenge is noting compared to how much I learned.

I found the class to be tough but very rewarding. The teacher was very knowing and he is an able instructor who put views expressed in the literature or in class under assessment. He is respectful of students but demands that we defend positions we take with evidence and reason. Great guy too.

Though I thought the class was tough, I learned an amazing amount. Well worth the effort in my book.

He is an inspirational teacher who is expert in the subject and give a deep and complete assessment of the various subjects covers in the class. He is among the best teachers I have had at Saint Xavier University and at the University of Illinois. If you want an expert in the field and a great instructor take this guy.

By far this was the best class I had all year. He is an amazing professor because he not only is an expert but really knows how to get students inspired

Terrific teacher, very professional and classy dude

No question, one of the very best profs I have had here and at University of Wisconsin where I was before. Knows the subject backwards and forewords and is an excellent teacher (even though I'm not into lectures, his lectures are riveting and he makes sure everyone participates with pointed questions).

The best professor I've had at this school

He is a super good teacher. Who really knows his subject.

I had this professor in Spring and he was great. Always was ready to give constructive suggestions. And he also was really interested in my overall academic standing and he also gave me and the class a a whole insight into finding the right career path in criminal justice. I really respect Mr Lorenzini

I just took Dr Lorenzini for one of my last required classes. Anyone interested in Criminal Justice, do yourself a favor, take him. He has a wealth of knowledge which he enthusiastically shares in every class. Plus he has so much practical experience, he welcomes students who want some help seeking a real world job.

Normally I don't like "old-style" professors who lecture. But he is very good at summarizing tough subjects. He is very skilled at asking students questions which made us see the overall picture and not just focus on particular points. And he's is open to different points of view. Just make sure you defend what you say. Take him, for sure.

Dr. Lorenzini is a great teacher. Usually I rely on a teacher's power points, but he uses them sparingly. That made me take my own notes. And it worked! Throughout the class, he'd go out of his way to help understand the material, and he's one of the few who actually keeps office hours.If you want to really learn, take him, you won't regret it.

Took criminal law with Dr Lorenzini this term, as well as Constitutional Law in the past. Both experiences exceeded my expectations. His knowledge of the law is theories which form its foundations is only surpassed by his terrific ability to inspired us to learn all we could. Lorenzini is not the easiest grader but take him if you want to learn.

Just got done with Lorenzini's Criminal law class. I gotta say I am happy it's over because I found it to be pretty hard. But maybe that's because CJ and history aren't may majors and also because I took too many classes this term. Anyway, if you want to really go into depth about criminal law, Lorenzini is the dude to take.

I took this class out of interest and I am so glad I did. It was not just interesting but the teacher was so into the subject that he inspired me to continue on and maybe going to law school.

Even though there was WAY too much reading, I loved this class. Professor Lorenzini had a way of making this class understandable in that he applied key laws and theories to everyday life. For sure I'm going to take him again.

Best teacher at St Xavier. He makes you participate when we deal with tough subjects and while he won't say anyone is wrong about what they say, he makes everyone defend their point of view with logic and facts. You won't just learn the subject but you will learn how to defend your ideas. Great class

This class really impressed me. We dealt with Constitutional Law and the way it has evolved. The professor tied his total knowledge of the subject with real life experiences that people had with constitutional rights, plus his own experiences. But the best thing was how he focused on the legal philosophy behind Supreme Court cases.

I feel like this class has helped me prepare for law school and it's helped me focus on the possibility of working in criminal law. The teacher knows how to get you to think and apply the laws in a real world way. Even though this school's tuition is way too much, this class was well worth the money in my mind

What I loved was that Dr. Lorenzini knows Constitutional Law and how to teach. He made sure everyone participated during every class meeting. But the best thing is he explained the different legal philosophies behind important court decisions.

Great class from a classy and terrific teacher who everyone admires. So glad I took this class before applying to law school.

This was the most intellectually stimulating class I've had at St Xavier U. Dr Lorenzini was a major positive experience. He is emphasizes the history and philosophies behind constitutional issues. He is a great teacher also because explains what constitutional rights really mean by adding his personal and legal experiences to his lectures.

Besides the teacher's knowledge of the criminal law, what I liked best was that he required everyone to analyze the laws and cases during class, and made sure we could back up what we said with facts and logic.

I learned much more than I expected when I started out in this Criminal Law class. What I loved most was Dr. Lorenzini's ability to weave his personal and professional experiences into his lectures to show what the law means in real people's lives. He is a must have!

This was the most intellectually stimulating class I have had in my four years at Saint Xavier University. I encourage anyone interested in Constitutional Law to not miss the chance of taking Dr Lorenzini.

This was the very best class I have had at St Xavier because not only is Dr Lorenzini super knowledgeable but he is the best teacher ever.

I enjoyed the class because because the teacher made the subject come alive during each lecture..

I think this is the best class I have had at SXU and the reason is the teacher, Mr Lorenzini. He is the best all around.

Lorenzini is AMAZING! He is one of my favorite professors at SXU. Be prepared to laugh in class and hear fun and engaging stories. He has a great personality and makes class always fun and gives stories to help you remember terms. His grading is very clear and to the point. Only a few assignments so make sure you pay attention and study well!

Dr. Lorenzini made the class even better than I ever imagined. He is impressive in so many ways. He knows the subject deeply. He is a master at getting students to think logically, assess the various aspect of criminal law and then communicate their ideas during class. Take him if you can. He is a must!

I took Constitutional Law because I expect to go to law school. I am glad I did! The professor knows the subject from both a legal angle and a historical perspective. He make everyone in class orally participate by insisting on reasoned analysis. And he is published scholar. Plus he cares about each student.

This is one of the best classes I have taken at SXU, thanks to the professor's knowledge and teaching skills which force us all to critically assess the material and back up our views on specific topics

Though I took this course online. It turned out to be a good course. Plus the teacher is very helpful, even if he demands way too much writing.

He is a tough grader. But explains it in detail and give you a change to improve. Overall, good class if you really want to learn criminal law

Professor Lorenzini runs a tough but rewarding criminal law class. His lectures are engaging and push you to think critically. While the workload is heavy, using resources like Unstuck AI alongside the textbook helps make the class manageable. Overall, a great class for those interested in criminal justice.

I learned so much in this class and so, I am grateful to Professor Lorenzini and to the university

I really loved this class. We all had to work especially hard, but it was worth it. Dr Lorenzini made the class great. He covered all topics well and was willing to listen to students views.

I took this class as and senior some time ago. Then I went to law school where and discovered that Dr Lorenzini's Constitutional Law class was still a fountain of knowledge I could access even in Law School.

Taking this class was a good for me because of my interest in the subject. And I was not disappointed. The teacher was great. He covered the topics in depth and what was especially valuable is that he made sure all participated in the class by asking questions of everyone all the time. Plus he used videos to further explain topics we read about.

This was great class not only because of the subject matter but because the professor is one of the best teachers I have ever had.
