TOP REVIEWS FROM CHEMERINSKY ON CONSTITUTIONAL LAW - THE STRUCTURE OF GOVERNMENT
Excellent pace, amount of information and expectations of someone new to constitutional law!
This course was extremely interesting and well presented. I fully intend to take Part 2 of the course.
I found the course challenging, the paper topics inventive and the quizzes straightforward.
Chermerinsky's classes were the best that I have taken. Very interactive and the fellow students really participated which made the class worth attending.
