I took State and Local. Enjoyed it. Not a ton of work. Did not hurt my GPA. So 3/3 on things I look for in classes.Samara wrote:While we're on the topic, any thoughts on State and Local Government or Estates and Trusts?

Re: Northwestern 3Ls Taking Questions and Challenges
I didn't, but I had several friends who did and they all loved it. From what I was told there was no curve and he was not too hard with grades. They all highly recommended I take it this year.franklyscarlet wrote:has anyone taken remedies with Lupo? good/bad impressions?

Re: Northwestern 3Ls Taking Questions and Challenges
I have Litvak for BA right now and love it. I'm probably going to get curve-pwned since there are 45ish people, but second semester last year I believe it was uncurved, with all the 1Ls falling all over themselves to take it with Reed.franklyscarlet wrote:yep.

Re: Northwestern 3Ls Taking Questions and Challenges
To those looking for a really interesting class with no curve, not much reading, and (relatively) easy grading: Torts II with Shapo, Torts II with Shapo, Torts II with Shapo.
It helps tremendously to be used to his style if you had him first semester, but not having him shouldn't discourage you. Even if you don't take it, make sure to find out when the last day of class is and sit in on his lecture. Trust me.

Re: Northwestern 3Ls Taking Questions and Challenges
BA - A lot of people I know disliked Litvak's BA. I had Reed and loved him. I think that you will often have to choose between an uncurved class with a disliked prof or a curved class with a liked prof. I'd probably take a 65 person curved BA with Reed over uncurved with Litvak but that's me (with the benefit of hindsight).
Barsa - Really interesting guy but I don't know how hard his tests are.
Lupo - People generally say he's awesome.

Re: Northwestern 3Ls Taking Questions and Challenges
I managed to get Reed for BA over the summer with zero bid points b/c Lutz couldn't teach it and I loved it. Reed is one of the best profs I've ever head, clear in his expectations and just an all around nice guy. Worth taking him even curved.bk187 wrote:BA - A lot of people I know disliked Litvak's BA.

Echoing Enviro with Barsa: great prof, absolutely brutal test, likely curve-pwning.

She teaches both, maybe employment discrimination is only offered this semester. I heard good things about employment law too and I plan on taking next semester. You can take both.rinkrat19 wrote:Provenzano teaches Employment Law, so maybe that's what he means?franklyscarlet wrote:I've heard that's awesome, but I don't see it on our list :-/Icculus wrote:

How much does work experience matter to Northwestern for admissions? Or, how much favorably do admissions view a splitter that has solid work experience over one that doesn't? Just trying to gauge how much of a factor work experience is to Northwestern when assessing splitters.

Is there a reason to take BA over corporations?
