Contracts (Peppet). The reasoning behind contract law seemed more rational than other subjects, particularly property which is ridiculously antiquated. Also, Prof. Peppet made the class fun.

Criminal Procedure I -- with Professor Kevin Reitz. His card-catalogue knowledge of the criminal law is astounding, yet he can make something like the 4th Amendment jurisprudence clear and easily understandable (which it?s not).

Professor Campos pushes his students to reach accelerated intellectual levels by thinking ?outside of the box,? while at the same time, incorporates humor and sarcasm in his lectures.

Wills, Trusts, and Estates -- Wayne Gazur made a particularly dry subject very entertaining.

My favorite law school class was litigation with Professor Campos. We spent a lot of time milling over Supreme Court decisions and looking at the rhetoric used by the Justices to give substance to their arguments.

Property with Professor Hill

It?s a tie between Legal Writing and Contracts. Professor Louisa Heiny taught legal writing. Her class was well structured and clear, and the skills I learned in legal writing helped me with all my other classes. For Contracts I had Professor Scott Peppet ? he made a difficult subject understandable and has a great sense of humor.

The Immigration Clinic provided a different type of challenge. Instead of reading and preparing for class, I was working on actual cases with real clients. I wrote an asylum brief for the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals and tried cases before the Immigration Court in Aurora.

Privacy, Security and Digital Rights Management with Prof. Phil Weiser. It was an extremely interesting class that introduced us to many current cutting edge issues of the Internet. Also Prof. Weiser brings a certain energy and passion to his teaching. It was a very intense class with lots of reading, but I learnt a lot and enjoyed it very much.

I think my favorite law school class has been torts with Allison Eid. What wonderful stories! I will never forget the image of cells being "revivified" or exploding parcels. As a first semester, first year class, Eid hit just the right note to usher me into legal reasoning.
