I saw their course grid. At least they've got Hollander-Blumoff to offset Greenfield and Drobak.
Drobak is awesome. Also p sure he's teaching property, and given the 1L class's experience with property teachers this year he'll probably be the best one

I would have preferred that lineup.

I didn't mean to imply that these professors are bad in any shape or form. Rather, their courses are VERY VERY demanding, and having both of them at once is not for the faint of heart.

Without knowing anything about the new property prof., sections A&B are the clear winners. They both have Badawi (who is the man) and either Inazu or Osgood (who are both fantastic). And I'm sure the new property prof. has to be better than Mandy and Konig though prob not as good as Drobak. Still, best profs and no class on Fridays. Clear winners.

Edit: and B has Tamanaha and Mcgarian second semester. Game over. Only downside is having Levin for civ pro instead of Hollander-Blumhoff or Kim.

Lol what's wrong with Drobak? (you didn't even have him iirc)

I didn't know what the hell was going on the entire class fwiw, but by the end really loved civ pro and it was my favorite class after torts. Also my study strategy of just watching the freer videos over and over again worked out, so that's a bonus for the class.

Yeah basically if you have Tamanaha you win. Sad he's not teaching first semester though.

Besides me just hating con law, Magarian was just meh for me.

Magarian is the worst solely because of his exam.

Yeah people that I know that had Drobak thought he was fantastic.

I have very specific Osgood advice that will really help with his exam, but I'd rather share it with only a couple of you who I like that are TBD instead of just posting on TLS. But the rest of my profs (mandelker, Kim, Badawi, La Pierre) I'll help whoever with.

We've got Hollander-Blumoff, Drobak and De Geest in the fall, and Tamanaha, Blankfein-Tabchnick and Law in the spring. I've already heard great things about Drobak and Tamanaha, so any info on the others would be greatly appreciated!

Hollander Blumoff you apparently can apparently read a supplement and crush the class even if you are noticeably missing from most classes. De Geest is super into Econ. One of the guys from E can probably chime in.

If F has the same professors as E, I'd put money on your section having the #1 student in the class first semester.

^ that above sentence shows my illiteracy. F will have a few students with very high grades. So will E if they have the same professor load.

Yeah if you have Drobak you really just need to read or listen to Freer and you're good. Civ Pro is the most complicated class you'll take this year, but Drobak's exam is closed book, so that means you need to know everything, but not too in-depth. You'll get hounded at the beginning of the year to sign up with one of the bar prep companies, and it's worth it to do so with BarBri because they have an online lecture series, and there are 5 or 6 one hour videos by Freer that go over basically everything you'd need to know for Drobak's exam. I honestly spent 90% of my study time just listening to those over and over to memorize the basics, and that was my best grade in the spring.
