Incredibly smart guy and lectures were always a blast. The online videos are where you learn - in-person lectures were 10% course content and 90% miscellaneous stories. His guest speakers are top-notch and incredibly professionals.Rate My Professors ↗

Joe is AWESOME. My favorite class at WSB yet. Go to his office hours and go to his end of semester celebration at the union. At a large school he makes students feel like they matter. Class isn't that difficult. Go to class and listen to what he says. A large amount of tests are based on EXACTLY what he says during lecture.Rate My Professors ↗

Boucher is an awesome law professor and a great guy. His class became the only one that I would consistently go to at the end of the semester. His lectures are captivating and he makes clear difficult concepts by explaining examples of his real-world experiences.Rate My Professors ↗

Joe is an interesting guy. His lectures are primarily what you learn, no book necessary unless you're confused. Tests are a bit subjective, but not terrible if you study before and not overthink them. Big short paper was useless. Sometimes seems a bit arrogant, but he is a lawyer. Good class in bus law 2. Pretty easy to get at least an ABRate My Professors ↗

The content of this course is very easy. So most of the times he talks about current matters, everything that he has a say about. Very opinionated person, but it's great to hear from a professional lawyer.Rate My Professors ↗
