Question: With NU Law being in river north and the main NU campus in Evanston is it permissible/practical to take an "elective" classes in other grad schools (pub policy, pub administration, polisci type classes?)

The website had less info on this than other schools so wondering about it...

It is doable, there is a process behind getting approval, and there is an intercampus bus that goes from Chicago campus to Evanston.

Anyone have even a halfway-decent Securities Regulation outline for Horwich (preferably from last semester)?

Thanks all.

My section has Dana for Property and McGinnis for Con Law next semester. Any feedback about either of them?

Dana is an adorable awkward genius. He was a good teacher, I thought. Actually read his little book that is optional- very helpful on the exam. Also, keep up with the reading- he calls on people predictably, and it's very easy to let slide.

How about Kontorovich for ConLaw? His CTEs are some of the worst of the ones I've read, saying that he doesn't engage students, doesn't answer in-class questions, is a confusing lecturer, talks too fast, doesn't let you know how much to read, and the casebook sucks.

Obviously every prof gets some negative feedback, but this dude has like one comment on how he's a dynamic lecturer and everyone else sounds miserable.

Not a student (hope to be!) but I'll point out he is a Volokh Conspiracy blogger, which is kinda cool, though might point to his interests outside of teaching...

Mm. That is not necessarily a selling point.

Konto kinda sucks but people are way to sensitive. Don't take a class from him unless you have to because he is harsh in grading.

He tries to answer questions at least. But he really isn't interested in babying anyone.

He just gets shit on more than average because he outwardly doesn't care about you.

So uncurved Fed Jur might still suck?

It might suck more. He doesn't have to give 25% of the class some kind of A.

Probably still better than Pfander aka curve pwn central, right?

Speaking of, apparently a few of his Civ Pro tests were missing a section that everybody else had. Maybe it's a good thing that now Cliff is going to be involved in determining class grades, figure Pfander hates our section.

What has two thumbs as still has to take his Pfander fed-jur final?

<---this guy...a day is a reasonable amount of time to study for it, no?

My apathy increases exponentially as finals period progresses. There is no way I could save a curved class for last.

Yeah, but I was gonna be the bottom of this curve regardless of time spent

I think everyone who's not delusional thinks this. I'm HOPING to be medianpwned.

At least you're past admin. I think i'm gonna have PTSD from that exam.

Yeah....I'm not a fan of those kind of prompts....have you taken it yet?

My apathy increases exponentially as finals period progresses. There is no way I could save a curved class for last. I can't believe I saved my four credit, curved class for last.

Seriously, WTF was I thinking?

Wait what's this about Cliff being involved with grades!?
