Past student reviews · Craig Fischer
Craig Fischer made complex court cases accessible through enthusiastic lectures, though students disagreed on clarity, with some finding his energy overwhelming and assignment instructions vague. The course required heavy reading and three papers, which were described as challenging or poorly structured by critics, but Fischer remained available for advice and support.
