Any upperclassmen at GULC who can recommend me some classes/professors?

I trust TLSers.

Depends on what you're looking for.

PR and Evidence are rules-based and very straight-forward. Corporations is pretty easy and a pre-req for some of the transactional classes. Practicums are a tradeoff - more class/hours commitment but often a guaranteed A.

Thank you for answering. I'm thinking Corporations and Evidence..
How are the upper legal writing classes? Do they require a lot of time commitment?

Not really, though I think it depends on the class I'm doing a supervised research project for my writing requirement but that takes knowing a professor who will work with you.

Varies wildly. Some professors treat WR classes like a full seminar, assigning extensive reading every week, grading heavily on participation in discussion, then also expect you to crank out a 25 page paper at the end. More reasonable professors design the entire course as if its sole purpose is the paper, so don't require much class time/non-paper work.

Hmm.. The key then is probably finding out which professors are reasonable haha thx!

Is there a list of non-law classes we can take on the main campus and instructions on how to register for them somewhere?
